I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that there are a number of licence agreements in place in the Four Courts. There are two licence agreements relating to telecommunications masts on a building in the Four Courts complex along the same terms as similar arrangements on other State properties. Both of these licence agreements commenced in 2004.

There are two other licence arrangements in place in the Four Courts. One of these is with Aramark Ltd. (formerly Campbell Catering Ltd.) and dates from 1977. This is the subject of legal proceedings and I am not in a position to provide details at this time. The remaining licence is with the Bar Council in respect of the Law Library and dates from 1968.

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that there have been no reports (from staff or public) of any anti-social behaviour at this property. OPW Park staff regularly monitor the vacant lodge in question to check on its condition and indications of any vandalism or such anti-social behaviour. The Phoenix Park management have been asked to make contact with the adjoining property owner and to discuss their concerns.
