The site on which the GPO is built is owned by the State and comprises the GPO building and a number of adjoining commercial premises on which ground rent is charged and paid. In respect of the GPO building itself, there is a licence agreement in place, effective from 1st January 1984, which provides for occupancy of the tenant, An Post, for a term of fifty years. The licence provides also for a nominal annual rent of IR£1 which, to date, has not been collected.
