With the exception of the Department headquarters in Dublin, Áras Mhic Dhiarmada, which is held by the Minister on behalf of the Social Insurance Fund, all commitments in relation to the rental of properties occupied by the Department of Social Protection, including ground rent, are discharged by the Office of Public Works.

The Office of Public Works is responsible for the delivery of office accommodation to meet the operational needs of Government, including the Department of Social Protection and can provide details of all properties owned or leased.

The agencies under the remit of the Department; the Citizens Information Board, the Pensions Council, the Pensions Authority, and the Social Welfare Tribunal do not pay ground rent.
