Jim O'Callaghan Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Fianna Fáil

I propose to take Questions Nos. 935 and 946 together.

My Department conducts its operations predominantly in buildings which are either State owned or rented or leased by the Office of Public Works (OPW) on behalf of my Department. These buildings come under the OPW's centralised portfolio management for accommodation across the Government estate, including accessibility. All of the buildings occupied by my Department are wheelchair accessible.
