I propose to take Questions Nos. 245 and 246 together.

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 Dun Laoghaire rocket house, which is registered as being owned by the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). It is a small stone built structure in Dun Laoghaire Harbour area that can only be accessed via an adjacent property. The building was condemned in 2012 and is not fit for habitation. It was last valued in 2014 with an estimate of 35k. The IRCG is currently seeking advice regarding disposal of this site.
