3544. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Health the number of publicly owned buildings that were vacant on the latest date available, broken down by purpose and/or last previous use; the length of time each property has been vacant; the reason for vacancy in each case; the amount spent to maintain the property since it was first left vacant in each of the years 2020 to date, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [56854/26]

The Department of Health does not own any properties. The Department of Health occupies one building, Block 1 Miesian Plaza, 50 - 58 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin, D02, as a tenant of the OPW.

As the Health Service Executive is responsible for the management of the public healthcare property estate, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to you in relation to this matter.
