The Office of Public Works (OPW) manages and oversees the State's property portfolio. Accordingly accommodation for my Department and its Offices is provided by the OPW in buildings which are either State owned or leased by the OPW on our behalf.
Typically, the Department and its Offices are in shared accommodation, either with other Government Departments, public bodies or the private sector. The Department and its Offices are located in 11 locations across the country and in the buildings which are not State owned, none of the existing lease arrangements involve the company referred to by the Deputy.
