The procurement, purchase and rent of Government offices is the responsibility of Property Management Services in the Office of Public Works, which acts as an agent for all Government Departments and offices. The number, terms and cost of the leases are a matter for the OPW. I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department was established in August 2020 and has occupied existing State-owned office space since that time. I can also confirm that the majority of office furniture and office IT equipment in use has been supplied from existing inventory. My Department is currently split over three locations and the costs incurred concerning office furniture and fittings and IT equipment since its establishment are given in the tables below.
