Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
280. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform the costs incurred to date in respect of Clyde House, Blanchardstown, in the context of leasing the property; the date on which it is now expected that full occupancy will take place; and the total duration of the lease. [22463/23]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that Clyde House will accommodate two Garda Bureaus that were based in Harcourt Square. The Office of Public Works (OPW) has entered into a lease of the building which will commence when the fit-out is completed by the landlord. The Landlord fit-out commenced in September 2022 and Substantial Completion is planned in Q2 2023. The two units will be relocated to Clyde House in Q2/Q3 2023. As the Deputy would be aware, it is not possible at this stage to discuss the costings as they are commercially sensitive. The lease on Clyde House is expected to be held for 10 years by the OPW.
