I am informed that there are no ground rents payable by my Department in the years 2016 to date.
Regarding Agencies under the remit of my Department, I am informed by the Courts Service that one property in use by them is liable for ground rent, the details of which are provided below.
| Property | Clonmel Court Office |
|---|---|
| Landlord | The annual payment is made to Charles Barrett |
| Amount payable | The annual payment is €162.43 |
It is important to note that in general, and similar to other Government Departments, accommodation used by both my Department and Agencies under its remit is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW). The OPW provide accommodation in buildings which are either State owned or leased.
