When the Commissioners of Public Works are taking a lease of property, the parties granting that lease must demonstrate to the Commissioners and their legal advisers, the Chief State Solicitor's Office, that they are legally entitled to do so. There are standard criteria, including the provision of tax clearance certificates, that must be met before a lease can be completed and this procedure is normal practice in all property transactions.
The list of companies already provided by the Commissioners in the parliamentary question answered on 15thOctober 2014, sets out the entities that are identified as Landlords on leases currently held by the Commissioners.
