Costs incurred by the State in personal injury cases brought to court involving properties occupied by my Department are managed by the State Claims Agency.

In accordance with financial procedures in cases involving compensation against the State such costs are incurred by the State Claims Agency.  The figures for the years requested are set out as follows:

2016 2017 2018 2019 (30 Nov)
€434,256 €242,344 €359,243 €399,912

The Deputy should be aware that, with the exception of Áras Mhic Dhiarmada which is owned by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, all properties occupied by the Department are owned or rented by the Office of Public Works.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
