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 (AMD), Dublin, which is held by the Minister on behalf of the Social Insurance Fund, all premises are either owned or leased by the OPW.

There are two State bodies under the aegis of my Department, the Citizens Information Board and the Pensions Authority. The Citizens Information Board owns and occupies three premises while the Pensions Authority occupies one location. Full details of these properties are outlined in the table below.
