€15.8m in rent paid by State for vacant Department of Health building

The Office of Public Works paid millions in rent on a building that no one used for more than a year, according to a new report from the State's public audit office.

A report by the Comptroller and Auditor General for 2017 shows that €15.8m was spent on renting the new headquarters for the Department of Health on Dublin's Baggot street between December 2016 and April 2018.
