I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 502 together.

The Department of Social Protection does not own any empty buildings or undeveloped sites.

Matters relating to the property portfolio for my department are the responsibility of the Office of Public Works (OPW). With the exception of my department's headquarters, Áras Mhic Dhiarmada, Dublin, which is held by the Minister on behalf of the Social Insurance Fund, all premises are either owned or leased by the OPW.
