I propose to take Questions Nos. 100 and 101 together.

In order to facilitate the EU Presidency meetings at Dublin Castle, a number of organisations who had accommodation under license were requested to vacate their offices in Dublin Castle. OPW Property Management sourced alternative temporary accommodation for Irish Arts Review, Music Network and Ouroboros in the vacant Garda Station at Harcourt Terrace. Drumcondra Work Space has also been accommodated in this property.

OPW is currently developing a longer-term plan for the property and there are no plans to develop an Arts Centre at this venue.
