My Department does not purchase or lease any land in Ireland. Any properties or land occupied by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in the State are leased and discharged by the Office of Public Works.

My Department manages property outside of the State. These properties are Embassies, Consulates-General and official accommodation which provide a platform to promote Ireland’s political, economic and cultural interests and values, to provide services to our citizens, to develop strategic stakeholder relationships and to represent Ireland in international organisations.
