I propose to take Questions Nos. 536 and 537 together.

My Department did not purchase any buildings or land in the last five years.

Two properties were leased in the period concerned, detail of which are contained in the following table.

The property in Roscommon is used by Geological Survey Ireland, while the space leased from UCD is used by the National Cyber Security Centre.

All other properties occupied by the Department are managed by the OPW.
