I propose to take Questions Nos. 66 and 67 together.

The Commissioners of Public Works own the premises off Eyre Street in Newbridge from which the Social Protection services are currently delivered. When the Department of Social Protection relocate to their new premises in Newbridge, the Eyre Street property will be refurbished and allocated to another State service.
