My Department is not a significant owner of property. However, the Housing Agency, in consultation with my Department and local authorities, is gathering data and developing a detailed database and GiS map of local authority owned lands, as well as the Land Aggregation Scheme lands, showing their location, size, boundaries and other information. The Office of Public Works has also developed a database of properties owned by Government Departments, State Agencies and local authorities. The development of this database was led by the OPW-chaired Steering Group on Property Asset Management – further information is available at . The data concerned is provisional and has not yet been fully validated.
