There are no premises or sites being leased or rented by my Department that are currently not in use. In general, premises and sites occupied by my Department are rented or leased by the OPW, rather than directly by my Department. The location, costs and landlord of the premises and sites currently rented directly by my Department are set out in the following table.

In relation to the office space at Cork Airport, rent for the years from 2009 to date is yet to be paid, pending the finalisation of discussions with OPW and the Dublin Airport Authority, which manages the airport.
