​In general the Office of Public Works is responsible for the procurement of office and other accommodation required for the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and accordingly, landholdings size and location is a matter for that Office.

There are some instances where lands are owned by the Minister but are leased to State bodies under the aegis of the Department. I will arrange for the details to be forwarded to the Deputy.

The position regarding the semi states under the remit of this Department is a matter for their direct response. I have forwarded a copy of your question to them for direct reply. If you have not heard from the semi states within ten working days, please contact my private office.
