All office and other accommodation occupied by the Department of Transport is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) which is responsible for the procurement of office and other accommodation required for Government Departments.

My Department currently owns one vacant property, the Dún Laoghaire rocket house, which is registered as being owned by the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). It is a small stone built structure in Dún Laoghaire Harbour area that can only be accessed via an adjacent property. The building was condemned in 2012 and is not fit for habitation. IRCG is currently seeking advice regarding disposal of this site.
