My Department occupies four main campuses in Marlborough Street and Blanchardstown in Dublin, Tullamore and Athlone as well as 41 local offices throughout the country.

My Department has not incurred any costs in relation to roof cleaning and sanitisation in the past five years to date in 2022.

The maintenance and upkeep of school grounds and buildings is a matter for school authorities. School authorities are responsible for determining whether maintenance, including the cleaning or sanitising of roofs, is required at buildings.
