The capital allocation for my Department is primarily used to deliver IT modernisation and carry out refurbishments on the Department’s buildings. 

With the exception of Áras Mhic Dhiarmada, all of the buildings used by the Department of Social Protection are owned or leased by the Office of Public Works (OPW).  Expenditure on art works as part of significant capital programmes would be a matter for the OPW.
