Ms. Margaret Falsey Committee Secretariat Committee of Public Accounts Leinster House Dublin 2

A chara,

I refer further to your e-mail of 11 June in relation to your request for information following on from my correspondence to the Committee dated 20 April 2018 and 9 May 2018 which provided additional information following my appearance before the committee on 29 March 2018.

In your e-mail you asked the following question:

"In the letter dated 20 April 2018, it was confirmed that the purchase of a building was considered by Foras na Gaeilge in its overall business case and in the correspondence submitted in May the documents were in relation to a rental agreement for the premises in Amiens Street. Can you please furnish the Committee with a copy of the overall business case".

The only business case that was received by the Department from roras na Gaeilge in respect of this matter was that which was provided on my response to the Committee on 9 May 2018. I have reattached this business case (in Irish and English) together with a copy of associated excel workings for your convenience. These files were also provided as part of my response of 9 May 2018.

Yours sincerely,

OIFIGEACH AG FAOMHADH SÍNIÚ: DÁTA:

Cuid 1.1: Achoimre ar an rogha is fearr

Ceannáras aon fhoirgnimh i lár chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath (BÁC), a thógfaidh fhoireann iomlán Fhoras na Gaeilge i mBÁC faoi dhíon amháin agus teacht éasca ar na mór mhodhanna iompair DART, LUAS, Bus agus seirbhísí traenach ‘intercity’ (Stáisiúin Uí Chonghaile in aice láimhe). Tá áiseanna cultúrtha ar nós Páirc an Chrócaigh agus an LSAÉ (IFSC) ina bhuntáiste chomh maith. Tá sé i gceist léas suas go 20 bliain a shíniú le clásal scoir cuí. Is foirgneamh nua aimseartha ar an gcaighdeáin is airde a bheidh ann, a chuirfidh baile fad téarmach ar fáil d’Foras na Gaeilge san ardchathair agus a bhaineann seo amach ar bhealach éifeachtach ó thaobh costais de i gcomhthéacs margadh cíosa reatha BÁC (tá cíos €60-€65 per tr c/€645-€700 per m c do grád ‘A’ sna suímh is fearr). Mar chuid den athlonnú tá sé i gceist ÁIS, an seirbhís dáileacháin leabhar, a bhogadh go trádstóras sna bruachbhailte, ar chuarbhóthar an M50 is dóchúla, rud a chiallóidh sábháiltí suntasacha agus a dhéanfaidh na gníomhaíochtaí seo níos éifeachtaí (tá roinnt féidearthachtaí aitheanta agus tá sonraí thíos). Tá an rogha is fearr aimsithe tar éis próiseas chuimsitheach ina raibh anailís margaidh, saineolas ailtireachta agus plé leis an OOP (OPW) agus foireann Fhoras na Gaeilge thar tréimhse 2 bhliana. Tá sé i gceist an léas a shocrú sa dóigh is gur féidir na costais ag tús an tionscnamh a choinneáil chomh híseal agus is féidir agus muid ag athlonnú chuig Ceannáras nua aimseartha, a bheidh oiriúnach do phríomheagraíocht na Gaeilge ar an oileán.

Cuid 2.1: Cúlra an tionscadail

Foras na Gaeilge

Bunaíodh Foras na Gaeilge in 1999 mar chuid de An Foras Teanga, Comhlacht Forfheidhmithe Thuaidh/Theas, chun an Ghaeilge agus an Ultais a chur chun cinn faoi réir Chomhaontú Aoine an Chéasta / Bhéal Feirste. Faoi choimirce an chomhlachta sin, déanann Foras na Gaeilge na freagrachtaí go léir i dtaca leis an Ghaeilge de a chur i gcrích.

I measc na bhfreagrachtaí sin: tá labhairt agus scríobh na Gaeilge sa saol poiblí agus sa saol príobháideach a eascú i bPoblacht na hÉireann, agus tá an fhreagracht chéanna ann i leith Thuaisceart Éireann, sa chás go mbíonn an t-éileamh cuí ann agus i gcomhthéacs Chuid III de Chairt Chomhairle na hEorpa um Theangacha Réigiúnacha nó Mionlaigh.

Aistríodh foireann Bhord na Gaeilge, an Ghúim (Foilsitheoirí) agus an Choiste Téarmaíochta (Forbairt Téarmaíochta) agus a ngníomhaíochtaí ar fad go dtí Foras na Gaeilge nuair a bunaíodh é. Aistríodh feidhmeanna Bhord na Leabhar Gaeilge agus Colmcille go Foras na Gaeilge in 2008.

Tá ról ag Foras na Gaeilge i dtaca le comhairle a chur ar lucht rialtais, thuaidh agus theas, agus ar chomhlachtaí poiblí agus ghrúpaí eile sna hearnálacha príobháideacha agus deonacha i ngach gnó a bhaineann leis an Ghaeilge. Ina theannta sin, cuireann siad tionscadail tacaíochta ar bun agus tugann siad cúnamh deontais do chomhlachtaí agus do ghrúpaí ar fud oileán na hÉireann.

Is iad na feidhmeanna atá ag Foras na Gaeilge:

• an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn;

• úsáid na Gaeilge a éascú agus a spreagadh sa chaint agus sa scríbhneoireacht sa

saol poiblí agus sa saol príobháideach sa Deisceart agus, i gcomhthéacs Chuid III

den Chairt Eorpach do Theangacha Réigiúnacha nó Mionlaigh, i dTuaisceart Éireann

mar a mbeidh éileamh cuí ann;

• comhairle a thabhairt don dá lucht riaracháin, do chomhlachtaí poiblí agus do

3

ghrúpaí eile san earnáil phríobháideach agus dheonach;

• tionscadail tacaíochta a ghabháil de láimh, agus cúnamh deontais a thabhairt do

chomhlachtaí agus do ghrúpaí de réir mar a mheasfar is gá;

• taighde, feachtais tionscnaimh, agus caidreamh poiblí agus caidreamh leis na meáin,

a ghabháil de láimh;

• téarmaíocht agus foclóirí a fhorbairt; agus

• tacú le hoideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge agus le múineadh na Gaeilge.

Is léir go bhfuil éileamh soiléir, méadaithe ann ón bpobal Thuaidh agus Theas do bhreis tacaíochtaí, deiseanna úsáide agus plé leis an nGaeilge mar atá léirithe i dtaighde acadúil, daonáirimh agus an rath atá ar oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge. Tá ról faoi leith ag Foras na Gaeilge ó thaobh an éilimh seo a fhreagairt.

Tá 5 oifig ag Foras na Gaeilge – príomhoifig agus seach-oifig i mBaile Átha Cliath, agus oifigí eile i Ráth Chairn, i nGaoth Dobhair agus i mBéal Feirste.

Tá 16 de chomhaltaí boird ag Foras na Gaeilge (agus gach folúntas líonta) atá freagrach as an chomhlacht agus, faoi láthair, tá 58 fostaithe sa chomhlacht ar chonradh buan (cé go bhfuil na huimhreacha údraithe ag an CATT níos airde ná seo).

Is iad an Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta, Gnóthaí Réigiúnacha, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta agus an Roinn Pobail an dá roinn urraíochta atá ag Foras na Gaeilge.

Is mar seo a leanas a chuir an dá roinn urraíochta deontais ar fáil d’Fhoras na Gaeilge le linn 2015:

Léasanna reatha Fhoras na Gaeilge i mBÁC

Tá léas ag Foras na Gaeilge ar an gCeannáras ag 7 Cearnóg Mhuirfean ó bunaíodh é i 1999. Is léas 35 bliain atá ar an bhfoirgneamh a shínigh Bord na Gaeilge ar 1.5.1980. Fuair Foras na Gaeilge an léas mar uacht nuair a aistríodh feidhmeanna Bhord na Gaeilge. Bhí dáta éaga oifigiúil de 30.4.2015 ar an léas seo ach tá síneadh ama socraithe go dtí 30.4.2017 (féach cásanna gnó Aibreáin 2015 agus Meitheamh 2016).

Tá socrú leanúnach ag Foras na Gaeilge freisin le NEPS I dtaca le 24-27 Sráid Fhreidric Thuaidh (Cúirt Fhreidric), áit a bhfuil An Gúm lonnaithe faoi láthair. Beidh deireadh leis an socrú fo-léis seo ar 31.5.2017 agus ní bheidh féidearthacht ann é a athnuachan.

Bhain costais iomlán de €475,000 leis an dhá fhoirgneamh seo i 2015.

Mar a leagadh amach i gcásanna gnó eile, tá an fhoireann bhainistíochta den tuairim nach bhfuil dhá suíomh i mBÁC éifeachtach d’Fhoras na Gaeilge agus tá an féidearthacht ann go bhfuil an eagraíocht á choinneáil siar ó thaobh forbairt de. Mar sin is tosaíocht lárnach í foireann iomlán Fhoras na Gaeilge i mBÁC a thabhairt isteach faoi aon dion amháin.

An Margadh reatha cíosa i mBÁC

Tá praghsanna agus éileamh sa mhargadh reatha cíosa i mBÁC ag, nó os cionn, an buaicphointe a bhí ann siar i 2006-2008 (SCSI report 2015). Bhí an líon oifig folamh i lár na cathrach ag deireadh R4 2015 chomh híseal le 3.7% (JIL 2016 Outlook). Tá rátaí cíosa á éileamh anois sa raon €60-€65 per tr c/€645-€700 per m c. Tá an margadh ag bogadh go mór chun tosaigh ar chathracha eile sa Ríocht Aontaithe agus príomhchathracha eile na hEorpa agus tá an margadh iomlán ‘scartha’ ón margadh in aon áit eile in Éirinn.

Le seo táimid ag breathnú ar riachtanas soiléir maidir le Ceannáras nua a aimsiú d’Fhoras na Gaeilge i lár nó gar do lár chathair BÁC ach seo a bhaint amach nuair atá an margadh agus éileamh ar spás oifige níos airde ná mar a bhí riamh. Tá Foras na Gaeilge ag dul in iomaíocht le comhlachtaí móra idirnáisiúnta (TF agus airgeadais ach go háirithe) le hacmhainní móra acu.

Fadhbanna a bhaineann leis an bhfoirgneamh reatha ag Cearnóg Mhuirfean

Cé go bhféadfaí a rá go bhfuil aois agus carachtair an Cheannárais reatha ag Cearnóg Mhuirfean oiriúnach d’eagraíocht cultúrtha agus teanga (tógadh an foirgneamh Seoirseach sna 1700í agus is ‘foirgneamh faoi chosaint’ é), beidh infheistíocht shuntasach agus leanúnach de dhíth má tá sé i gceist fanacht ar an láthair go fad téarmach leis an bhfoirgneamh a chaomhnú mar atá. Is mór an seans go n-ardóidh na costais seo i rith an ama chomh maith, ach go háirithe I dtaca leis an bhfoirgneamh Seoirseach. Tá fadhbanna suntasacha eile ann a bhaineann leis an bhfoirgneamh, ina measc (féach freisin tuairisc ó ailtirí Martin Murray iniata):

Sileadh uisce / uisce ag teacht isteach

Fianaise go bhfuil turnamh ag tarlú san an foirgneamh

Easpa solais nádúrtha agus aeráil

Seomraí folcadh sean aiseanta agus mí-oiriúnach

Easpa páirceála ar an láthair

Úsáid fhuinnimh atá an mhí éifeachtach ó thaobh costais agus timpeallachta

Gan rochtain ceart nua aimseartha bheith ar fáil do dhaoine le míchumais

An tionchar atá ag gach rud thuas ar mheanman na foirne agus íomhá phoiblí

Bheadh tacaíocht shuntasach airgeadais ag teastáil leis an bhoirgneamh a thabhairt go dtí caighdeáin oiriúnach mar Cheannáras ceart fad téarmach d’Fhoras na Gaeilge. Dá mbeadh an tacaíocht seo ar fáil ó na ranna urraíochta d’fhéadfaí ionad den chéad scoth a fhorbairt ar an láthair a bheadh ag teacht le institiúid cultúrtha eile sa cheantar máguaird, ina measc an Gailearaí Náisiúnta, an Institiúid Goethe nua agus an RIAI. Áfach, glacfadh sé roinnt mhaith blianta (4+) agus tacaíocht agus tiomántas ó pháirtithe leasmhara (OOP, na ranna urraíochta agus rialtas) leis an fhís seo a fhíorú (sonraí ar fáil i dtuairisc Martin Murray).

Sábháiltí

Tá anailís thíos maidir leis na sábháiltí féideartha a chreidimid gur féidir a bhaint amach le hathlonnú chuig an rogha atá aitheanta mar an rogha is fearr. Ina measc seo tá:

Ísliú ar chostais solais agus teas

Ísliú ar chostais cothabhála agus deireadh le costais trochlaithe

Sábháiltí costais agus ama ó thaobh taisteal idir oifigí do chruinnithe

Úsáid níos éifeachtaí spáis a ísleoidh costais stórála

Níos éasca teacht ar na hoifigí don Bhord, don fhoireann agus do chuairteoirí

Baile fad téarmach a imreoidh tionchar dearfach ar an nGaeilge

Ag deireadh an lae an rud atá Foras na Gaeilge ag iarraidh a bhaint amach ná ‘baile’ ceart fad téarmach don eagraíocht, rud a leagfaidh bunchloch síos agus a ligfidh don eagraíocht díriú go hiomlán ar sheirbhís den chéad scoth a chur ar fáil don phobal.

Tagann an cinneadh seo ag am cinniúnach don Ghaeilge agus d’fhéadfaí go mbeidh buntáistí níos leithne i gceist nuair a chuirtear an tionscnamh suaitheanta seo i gcrích, rud a d’fhéadfaí móiminteam dearfach a thabhairt don teanga, a chuirfidh buntáistí eile neamhairgid ar fáil cosúil le próifíl níos fearr agus níos airde don teanga agus don eagraíocht i measc an phobail, daoine nua láidre a mhealladh agus a choinneáil agus fianaise follasach maidir le dul chun cinn ó thaobh straitéis 20 bliain don Ghaeilge (2010-2030) le linn deichniúr na gcomórtha.

Le go mbeidh comparáid fhírinneach á dhéanamh, tá na meastacháin níos déanaí sa cháipéis seo sa mhír ar na roghanna bunaithe ar rátaí an mhargaidh reatha. Mar atá luaite thuas, tá rátaí an mhargaidh anois sa raon €60-65 per tr c i lár chathair BÁC – Tá Foras na Gaeilge faoi láthair ag íoc thart ar €17 ar bhonn per tr c ar Chearnóg Mhuirfean.

Cuid 3.1: Gá

Fís Fhoras na Gaeilge an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn ar fud oileáin na hÉireann. Tá aon trian de dhaonra an oileáin ina gcónaí i mórcheantar BÁC. Is uirlis ríthábhachtach don eagraíocht é go bhfuil oifigí i lár nó gar do lár chathair BÁC le go mbeidh sí in ann an obair a chur I gcrích ar fud an oileáin. Is í misean Fhoras na Gaeilge “Úsáid na Gaeilge sa saol laethúil a mhéadú agus a normalú agus saíocht na Gaeilge a chur i láthair an tsaoil.”

Tá suíomh i lár BÁC mar bhunriachtanas leis an méid thuas a bhaint amach toisc:

Go dtugann sé deis don eagraíocht tacú le húsáid laethúil na Gaeilge san

ardchathair

Tugann sé deiseanna fostaíochta do dhaoine le Gaeilge

Cinntíonn sé go bhfuil teacht ag an líon is mó daoine ar sheirbhísí tacaíochta

agus comhairle Fhoras na Gaeilge

Caomhnaíonn sé stádas na Gaeilge agus an dul chun cinn ó Thuaidh agus ó

Dheas

Tugann sé ardán d’Foras na Gaeilge a ról a chomhlíonadh maidir le comhairle a

chur ar rialtas agus ranna rialtais i dtaca leis an nGaeilge.

Cuireann láthair i lár BÁC go mór le héifeacht cur i gcrích pleananna gnó agus

corparáideacha Fhoras na Gaeilge.

Ó thaobh cúrsaí praiticiúla de agus próifíl na foirne, rinneadh suirbhé ar an

bhfoireann le go dtuigfeadh muid an tionchar atá ag suíomh na n-oifigí ar chúrsaí

iompair agus stádais. Léiríonn torthaí an tsuirbhé go bhfuil an fhoireann roinnt

beagnach go cothrom 50:50 idir Tuaisceart agus Deisceart na cathrach agus cé go

n-úsáidtear modhanna difriúla iompair is iad an DART nó gluaisteán príobháideach is

mó atá in úsáid. Rud atá rí shoiléir ón suirbhé ná go mbeadh drochthionchar

suntasach ag baint le haon bogadh taobh amuigh de lár na cathrach in aon treo do

suas go leath na foirne, rud a d’fhéadfadh fadhbanna a chruthú ó thaobh daoine a

choinneáil. Baineann cuid de seo le bealaí iompair BÁC a chiallaíonn go bhféadfadh

bogadh cúpla míle i suíomh na hoifige idir 30 agus 60 nóiméad a chur leis an am a

ghlacann sé teacht ar an obair.

Tá na huimhreacha fostaithe a léirítear thíos (62) bunaithe ar líon reatha na

gcoibhéisí lánaimseartha (CLR) do Foras na Gaeilge agus Raidió na Life i mBÁC

(42) móide 10 deasc te don dá eagraíocht sin. Tá deasca te an tábhachtach ó thaobh

na seirbhísí a cuirtear ar fáil ag an dá eagraíocht ar fáthanna éagsúla. D’Foras na

Gaeilge is da bharr gur eagraíocht uile oileánda atá ann agus go mbíonn gá rialta

ann go mbíonn baill foirne ó na seach oifigí ag obair sa Cheannáras i mBÁC. Do

Raidió na Life an cúis ná go bhfuil foireann leathan dheonach acu le suas go 100

duine páirteach gach seachtain agus suas go 10 ar an láthair ag aon am amháin. Tá

sé deacair meastachán a dhéanamh ag an bpointe seo maidir le huimhreacha foirne

amach anseo ach meastar go mbeidh ardú go 75 ar a laghad sa mheán téarma os

8

rud é:

Go mbeidh méadú ar an éileamh ar agus suim i gcúrsaí Ghaeilge a chiallóidh

méadú ar an éileamh ar sheirbhísí

Tá suas go 70 fostaithe údaraithe go hoifigiúil d’Foras na Gaeilge ag an CATT

(méadú 12 vs uimhreacha reatha)

Tá bearnaí suntasacha sa chairt eagraíochtúil ó thaobh scileanna de agus ní mór

tabhairt faoi seo sna blianta beaga amach romhainn

Meastar (go coimeádach) go bhfuil thart ar 500 m2 spáis nach bhfuil in úsáid ina

iomlán nó ar chor ar bith san dá oifig i mBÁC. Go príomha baineann seo leis an

fhoirgneamh Seoirseach ag Cearnóg Mhuirfean agus an bealach ad hoc a cuireadh

leis an bhfoirgneamh thar na blianta agus an leagan amach atá air dá bharr. Mar sin

cé go gciallaíodh an athlonnú isliú suntasach ó thaobh m2 per CLR, creidimid nach

mbeidh drochthionchar aige seo ar seachadadh seirbhíse – dáiríre, ba chóir go

gcuireadh an foirgneamh nua leis seo.

Tá géarghá le nuachóiriú a dhéanamh ar fhoirgneamh Chearnóg Mhuirfean agus Cúirt Fhreidric agus níl an dá fhoirgneamh oiriúnach mar oifigí níos mó (agus as an cheist ó thaobh Cúirt Fhredric mar go bhfuil deireadh ag teacht leis an léas).

Príomhriachtanais eile (mar shampla, líon agus méid seomraí cruinnithe, oifigí feidhmeannaigh, spás le haghaidh saintrealaimh, stórais etc)

Go idéalach, tá riachtanas ag Foras na Gaeilge do:

Thart ar 5 seomra cruinnithe (idir 10 m2

agus 20 m

2 )

Seomra Boird le spás do c 20 - 25 duine

Íosmhéid oifigí don fheidhmeanas (suas go 6)

Spás do Raidió na Life, le 3 go 4 studio ina measc agus trealamh aeróige ar an dian

Seomra Comms don trealamh TF suite os cionn urlár na talún

Stóras áirithe ar an láthair do chartlann luachmhar stairiúil an Ghúim(Tá stóras ar leith ann do

stoc leabhar an Gúm nach mbaineann leis an chás seo)

Halla fáiltiú / forum le cruinnithe foirne agus imeachtaí poiblí a reáchtáil le tacú leis an nGaeilge

Cuireann an rogha is fearr gach rud thuas ar fáil.

Conas a measadh na riachtanais chóiríochta?

Plé leis an bhfoireann agus bainistíocht, saineolaithe TF san áireamh agus comhairle ailtireachta. Measadh na riachtanais i gcomhréir leis na roghanna a bhí ann ó thaobh fhoirgneamh de agus srianta chostais sa mhargadh reatha.

An bhfuil na riachtanais cóirithe athbhreithnithe ag Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí? □Tá □Níl

Táimid ag plé le hoifigigh OOP le 3 bliana anuas le hiarracht a dhéanamh teacht ar thacaíocht maidir le spás oifige oiriúnach a aimsiú d’Fhoras na Gaeilge. Faraor, níor éirigh le OOP ina gcuid iarrachtaí go dtí seo. Seans go bhfuil baint ag cúinsí dúshlánacha an mhargaidh reatha leis seo.

Cuid 4: Luaigh Cuspóirí agus Srianta

Cuspóirí tionscadail Spriocanna intomhaiste

1. Aimsigh spás oifige a chuireann dóthain spáis ar fáil le gníomhaíochtaí Fhoras na Gaeilge a chur I gcrích mar is ceart agus seirbhísí á chur ar fáil don phobal.

1.1 Íosmhéid 20 m2

per CLR

1.2 Oifig le spás do na riachtanais uilig thuas (Seomra Boird, Raidió na Life, Stóras An Ghúim srl)

2. Costas cíosa a choinneáil chomh híseal agus is féidir nuair atá rátaí €645 go €700 per m c á éileamh I lár chathair BÁC. Beidh scileanna idirbheartaíochta agus rúndacht ríthábhachtach sa chur chuige seo.

2.1 Uaschostas per m2

de €450 (35% faoi uasráta an mhargaidh)

3. Baile fad téarmach a shocrú d’Fhoras na Gaeilge i lár chathair BÁC.

3.1 Léas fad téarmach a aontú (suas go 20 bliain le Clásal Scoir) ar fhoirgneamh nua aimseartha athchóirithe áit nach mbeadh ach íosmhéid infheistíochta ag teastáil ó Fhoras na Gaeilge agus nach mbeidh gá filleadh ar an gceist seo go ceann tamaill fada ionas gur féidir díriú go hiomlán ar sheachadadh seirbhíse.

4. Aimsigh foirgneamh nua aimseartha a chuirfidh le stádas Fhoras na Gaeilge mar fhostóir reatha agus féideartha agus a thabharfaidh deis sábháiltí a dhéanamh maidir le fuinnimh agus eile. Bheadh halla/seomra comhdhála san áireamh anseo a bheadh ar fáil don fhoireann agus don phobal leis an nGaeilge a chur chun cinn.

4.1 Fostaithe tábhachtacha a choinneáil agus a mhealladh tar éis an athlonnú – sprioc faoi bhun 10% imeacht foirne (daoine ar scor as an áireamh) – méadú 20% I líon na n-iarratais ar phostanna Fhoras na Gaeilge. 4.2 Sprioc ar shábháiltí suas go 20% maidir le billí bhliantúil solais, teasa agus cóiríochta tar éis an athlonnú.

5. Go hidéalach áit a fháil le suas go 20 spásanna páirceála ar an láthair do bhaill foirne, oifigigh ranna agus comhaltaí boird atá spleách ar an ngluaisteáin mar mhodh iompair.

5.1 Áit a aimsiú le suas go 20 spásanna páirceála do bhaill foirne, oifigigh ranna agus comhaltaí boird atá spléach ar an ngluaisteáin mar mhodh iompair.

Srianta Bearta le tabhairt fúthu

1. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go bhfuil údarú ar an gcás gnó agus buiséad in am le go mbeidh sé ar chumas Foras na Gaeilge plé a dhéanamh le gníomhairí / Tiarna Talún agus an deis maidir leis an rogha is fearr a thapú gan mhoill. Tá margadh BÁC agus bogadh go fíor-thapa.

An cás gnó a chur isteach agus ag an am céanna an phráinn a bhaineann leis ó thaobh ama de a mhíniú ó thús. Tá rúndacht agus discréid ríthábhachtach le go mbeidh rath ar an dtionscadal seo.

2. Monatóireacht le déanamh ar spriocanna agus spriocdhátaí maidir leis an athchóiriú – tá léas Cúirt Fhreidric istigh ar 31 Bealtaine 2017 agus ba chóir go dtarlódh an athlonnú roimh seo.

Plé leanúnach leis an Tiarna Talún, suirbhéirí, ailtirí agus foirne le cinntiú nach bhfuil aon athrú ar sprioc-amanna agus caighdeáin aontaithe.

Status Quo

Seoladh 7 Cearnóg Mhuirfean BÁC 2

Achoimre Tuairisc chuimsitheach ullmhaithe ag ailtirí Martin Murray a dhéanann anailís ar na roghanna a bhaineann leis an bhfoirgneamh seo (iniata leis an gcás gnó seo). 2 príomh rogha (rogha 1A agus 1B):

A. Íosmhéid a chaitheamh go gearr

théarmach, rud a chiallóidh caiteachas

thart ar €500,000 leis an bhfoirgneamh a

choinneáil ‘beo’ mar oifig agus léas

gearr théarmach a iarradh thart ar 5

bliana.

B. Rogha mean go fad téarmach a

chiallóidh caiteachas €3.6m to €6m thar

tréimhse 4 bliana leis an suíomh a

aistriú chuig an caighdeáin idéalach

agus léas fad téarmach a iarraidh (mar

chuid den athfhorbairt) thart ar 20 bliain.

Measúnú tosaigh Is suíomh den scoth é Cearnóg Mhuirfean ó thaobh chúrsaí cultúrtha, polaitiúla agus modhanna iompair de. Is suíomh idéalach atá ann le heagraíocht cultúrtha bheo a bhunú. Áfach, tá na sean fhoirgnimh anois i riocht a chiallaíonn go mbeidh infheistíocht shuntasach de dhíth díreach len’iad a chaomhnú mar oifigí. Tá léiriú déanta ag ailtirí Martin Murray ar phlean uaillmhianach a bhainfeadh seo amach I gcomhthéacs dul chun cinn eile sa cheantar (mar shampla teacht Twitter trasna an bhóthair) ach beidh ionchur, tacaíocht agus infheistíocht shuntasach de dhíth ó OOP, na ranna agus airí rialtais leis an bhfís seo a bhaint amach agus mhairfeadh an tionscnamh roinnt blianta. Táimid mar sin ag obair ar an mbonn nár chóir ach rogha 1A a chur san áireamh don gearrliostú. Cé go bhfuil an rogha ann fanacht ag Cearnóg Mhuirfean ó thaobh foireann iomlán Fhoras na Gaeilge BÁC a thógáil le chéile baineann na míbhuntáistí seo a leanas leis:

Tá OOP, mar thiarna talún, tar éis tabhairt

le fios nach bhfuil siad sásta socrú nua

G

12

fad téarmach léis a aontú le Foras na

Gaeilge. Anuas ar sin, thug siad le fios go

mbeadh aon infheistíocht sa

bhfoirgneamh le teacht ó Fhoras na

Gaeilge/na ranna urraíochta.

Is míbhuntáiste mhór í an gá le

hinfheistíocht suntasach láithreach agus

fadtréimhseach sa rogha seo (rogha 1A

agus 1B).

Tá dóchúlacht ard ann go mbeidh costais

cóiríochta agus athnuachan arda ann

agus go rachaidh siad I méid le himeacht

ama, ach go háirithe maidir leis an gcuid

Seoirseach den fhoirgneamh. Is beag

deis a bheadh ann maidir le costais

úsáide fhuinnimh a laghdú srl.

Bheadh ardú cíosa i gceist le haon léas

nua a shíneofaí le OOP i gcomparáid leis

an léas reatha. Ag ráta reatha an

mhargaidh d’fhéadfadh aon rud idir €375

and €485 per m c bheith i gceist – is

ionann seo agus cíos bhliantúil de thart

ar €700,000 go €800,000 (méadú

c€320,000 go €420,000).

Seoladh 63-66 Amien Street Dublin 1

Achoimre Féach an achoimre thuas – an rogha is fearr. Measúnú tosaigh An measúnú tosaigh atá againn ná go dtugann an rogha seo an deis d’Fhoras na Gaeilge beagnach gach ceann do na riachtanais thuas a shásamh agus seo a dhéanamh ar bhealach atá iomaíoch ó thaobh costais de. An t-aon cheist a bheadh ann maidir leis an bhfoirgneamh seo ná ó thaobh suíomh de os rud é nach bhfuil an ceantar aitheanta le cúrsaí cultúrtha agus polaitíochta mar atá Cearnóg Mhuirfean. Tá cuid mhór forbairtí tarlaithe sa cheantar seo i mBÁC 1 le blianta beaga anuas le síolú LSAÉ (IFSC) agus tá an dóchúlacht ann go leanfaidh an fhorbairt amach anseo. Tuigeann muid go maith an dualgas agus an fhreagracht atá ar Fhoras na Gaeilge don phobal agus spreagadh agus tacaíocht a thabhairt dóibh an Ghaeilge a úsáid. Tá sé freisin go mór ar intinn againn, an ról comhairleach atá ann maidir leis an rialtas agus ranna rialtais agus an tábhacht a bhaineann le bheith in aice na Dála agus an cheantar máguaird i dtaca leis seo. Ar an iomlán, braithimid gur beag iad na míbhuntáistí seo i gcomparáid leis na buntáistí eile a chuireann an rogha seo ar fáil agus beagnach gach riachtanais eile sásaithe.

Seoladh 104 Sráid Bhagóid BÁC 2

Achoimre Foirgneamh Seoirseach athchóirithe agus eachlann ar chúl. Cosúil le leagan amach Chearnóg Mhuirfean ach níos lú (5,500 tr c). Measúnú tosaigh Measadh ag tús gur féidearthacht eile a bhí sa rogha seo, ach de réir mar a tháinig sé chun solais chomh beag is a bhí an scála forbartha ba léir nach mbeadh dóthain spáis sa rogha seo le Raidió na Life a bheith ar an láthair céanna agus le spás cuí do seomraí cruinnithe agus áiseanna stórais.

D

Ar an iomlán tá an fhoirgneamh seo ró-bheag leis na riachtanais a shásamh, ach go háirithe maidir le Raidió na Life, Seomraí cruinnithe agus stóras. Bheadh ceisteanna ann freisin maidir le cóiríocht a dhéanamh ar sean fhoirgneamh Seoirseach cosúil le Cearnóg Mhuirfean agus an easpa éifeachtacht a bhaineann le sin. Chomh maith le seo, tá an costas a bhaineann leis an rogha seo píosa maith níos airde ná rogha 2 ag €404 per m c (roimh costais reatha).

4 Rogha Foirgneamh a cheannach

Seoladh N/A

Achoimre Le comparáid a dhéanamh tá meastacháin curtha againn leis an anailís seo maidir le costas fhoirgnimh, macasamhail an ceann faoi rogha 2, a cheannach. Faoi láthair i margadh BÁC, déanann sé i bhfad níos mó céille foirgneamh a cheannach seachas é a thógáil ar cíos. Bunaithe ar chostas cíosa rogha 1 nó 2 thuas meastar go mbeadh Foras na Gaeilge in ann foirgneamh ar luach thart ar €7m-€10m a cheannach le morgáiste. Chiallódh sin go mbeadh sócmhainn luachmhar ar fáil don eagraíocht ag deireadh tréimhse an mhorgáiste, rud a thabharfadh solúbthacht agus cosaint. Féach ‘tacaíocht cás gnó oifigí.xls’. Measúnú tosaigh Cé go bhfuil an rogha seo níos ciallmhaire ó thaobh na heacnamaíochta mar atá cúinsí faoi láthair, an tuiscint atá againn ná go mbeadh drogall ar na ranna urraíochta ceannach sócmhainn mar seo a údarú.

D

Tuigtear dúinn nach mbeadh tacaíocht / údarú ar fáil ó na ranna urraíochta maidir leis an rogha seo.

Déanadh anailís ar thart ar 20 fhoirgneamh éagsúla eile ar mhaithe le comparáid a dhéanamh leis na roghanna thuas, roinnt féidearthachtaí sna bruachbhailte ina measc, ach cuireadh as an áireamh iad roimh an ‘liosta fada’ ar fáthanna éagsúla (cúiseanna a bhain le costais den chuid is mó)

ÁIS- nóta eolais Faoi gach ceann de na roghanna thuas tá sé i gceist an seirbhís dáileacháin leabhar ÁIS a athlonnú chuig láthair nua ar an gcuarbhóthair M50. Déanfar seo le:

Costais stórála a ísliú go mór

Dáileacháin a fheabhsú le teacht éasca ar an M50 agus mótarbhealaigh

náisiúnta eile na tíre

Spás i lár na cathrach a úsáid ar bhealach níos oiriúnaí mar spás oifige

Tá roinnt féidearthachtaí aitheanta cheanna féin i mBÁC 15, 13 agus 11, a chuirfidh stóras ceart ar fáil agus láthair dáileacháin ar chostas i bhfad níos ísle ná mar atá á íoc i lár chathair BÁC. Tá costas cíosa sa raon €10,000 to €20,000 per annum á éileamh ar trádstóras thart ar 400 m c. Cé go bhfuil an leibhéil chaiteachais seo faoi bhun an leibhéil a shonraítear sa mheamram airgeadais maidir le cás gnó bheith riachtanach (€37,500), tá sonraí curtha ar fáil anseo ar mhaith le eolas iomlán a roinnt. Beidh costais athchóirithe agus aistrithe i gceist leis an athlonnú seo agus tá siad san áireamh sna meastacháin thíos (€500,000 faoi rogha 2).

Tráchtaireacht:

1. Tá stádas ar leith ag Cearnóg Mhuirfean ó thaobh suímh de agus mar sin is rud

dearfach a bheadh ann faoin toisc seo fanacht ag an suíomh seo faoi rogha 1A. É sin

ráite, cé gurb é Cearnóg Mhuirfean an rogha is dearfaí ó thaobh stádas de, gan

infheistíocht shuntasach agus athchóiriú (rogha 1B) tá an dóchúlacht ann go mbeidh

drochthionchar ar stádas na teanga go fad téarmach (i.e. bheith nasctha le

seanfhoirgneamh nach bhfuil in oiriúint). Tugann rogha 2 deis an eagraíocht a

athshamhlú i dtimpeallacht nua agus nuafhaiseanta a bheadh níos oiriúnaí mar

Cheannáras na linne seo – mar sin táthar ag breathnú ar seo mar tionchar dearfach

suntasach ó thaobh stádais de.

2. Tá teacht éasca ar mhodhanna iompair ag ceachtar suíomh (Cearnóg Mhuirfean nó

Sráid Amien), ach tá buntáiste sa bhreis ag Sráid Amien thar Chearnóg Mhuirfean sa

mhéid is go bhfuil sé freisin in aice leis an LUAS, Busáras agus seirbhísí traenach

intercity.

3. Mar atá ráite faoi rogha 1 agus 2 thuas, dá mbeadh infheistíocht shuntasach agus

tacaíocht ó na ranna ar fáil bheadh an éifeacht is mó ag rogha 1B go fad téarmach

faoin toisc seo. É sin ráite, meastar go mbeadh tionchar dearfach suntasach ag

rogha 2 go fad téarmach. Faoi rogha 1A, status quo, meastar go mbeidh tionchar

diúltach aige seo, rud a rachadh in olcas thar am de réir mar a thagann feabhas ar

chaighdeáin láthair oibre eile i gcoiteanna.

4. Fiú le hathchóiriú iomlán bheadh an cuid Seoirseach de Chearnóg Mhuirfean mí-

éifeachtach ó thaobh na inmharthanachta de. Mar sin tugann rogha 2 buntáiste ar

leith faoin toisc seo agus tionchar dearfach, ó thaobh costais agus na timpeallachta.

5. Ceann de na buntáistí is mó a bhaineann le rogha 2 ná an féidearthacht atá ann an

athlonnú a bhaint amach gan cur isteach go mór ar an obair laethúil agus beidh

Foras na Gaeilge in ann siúl isteach i bhfoirgneamh réidh nua ón chéad lá den léas.

Faoi rogha 1B bheadh tréimhse 4 bliana nó níos mó i gceist leis an bhfoirgneamh a

fheabhsú chuig an gcaighdeáin ceart. Cé go mbeadh an toradh ar deireadh idéalach,

bheadh cuid mhaith cur isteach ar an bhfoireann agus an pobal sula gcuirfí I gcrích é.

Tá an riosca ann i gcónaí maidir le rogha 1A go mbeidh cuir isteach leanúnach ar an

obair ag, mar shampla silleadh uisce, tuilte, ró-théamh ar threalamh TF srl gan trácht

ar an tionchar a bheadh ag an obair ar an fhoireann agus an obair.

Seo an t-aon áit amháin lena mbaineann riosca ard ó thaobh rogha 2 toisc go bhfuil brú ama ann i gcomhthéacs na hidirbheartaíochta agus an margadh mar atá. De réir mar a théann an t-am ar aghaidh ardaíonn an dóchulacht go dtiocfaidh páirtithe eile ar eolas maidir leis an rogha seo rud a mbeadh tionchar diúltach aige ar an phraghas agus ar an áit a fháil d’Foras na Gaeilge.

Mar is airde an caiteachas ar an athchóiriú mar is airde an riosca a bhaineann len’e a bhainistiú agus a chur i gcrích mar is ceart. Beidh súil ghéar le coinneáil ar an mír seo faoi gach rogha.

3.Glacann OOP dearcadh trodach maidir le deireadh na léasanna reatha.

Go dtí seo agus plé ar súil le OOP is léir go bhfuil siad dírithe go mór ar an toradh airgeadais a bhaint amach seachas comhoibriú a dhéanamh le heagrais eile de chuid an stáit. Beidh plé leanúnach le OOP tábhachtach leis an riosca seo a bhainistiú agus a ísliú.

Cuid 9: Déan achoimre ar chomparáidí na roghanna agus ainmnigh rogha is fearr

Go hachoimre, is í Rogha 2 an rogha is fearr le gach toisc san áireamh. Tugann Rogha 2 an réiteach is fearr ó thaobh costas de ar bhonn bhliantúil reatha agus ar bhonn CGR mar atá léirithe thuas.

Section 1.1: Summary of the Preferred Option

Stand alone headquarter building in Dublin City Centre, bringing all Foras na Gaeilge Dublin staff under one roof and easily accessible by all major transport routes including DART, LUAS, Bus and intercity train services (Connolly Station nearby). Proximity to cultural amenities such as Croke Park and the expanding IFSC is also an advantage. The intention is to sign a lease of up to 20 years with appropriate break clauses. Building will provide a modern, well fitted long term home for Foras na Gaeilge in the capital and achieves this in a cost effective manner in context of the current Dublin rental market (where asking prices are ranging €60-€65 per sq ft/€645-€700 per sq m for grade ‘A’ in prime locations). As part of the move the intention is for ÁIS, the book distribution service, to move to an off-site warehouse on the suburbs of the city probably on the M50 ring road, which will result in significant overall savings and improve the efficiency of these operations (a number of potential cost effective sites have been identified and are detailed herein). The preferred option has been arrived at following an extensive process involving market analysis, architectural expertise and interaction with the Office of Public Works and Foras na Gaeilge staff over a 2 year period. The intention is to negotiate the lease so as to minimise the upfront cost associated with the relocation while achieving an appropriate modern headquarters, befitting of the primary Irish Language organisation on the island.

Section 2.1: Project Background

Project Background

Foras na Gaeilge

Foras na Gaeilge was founded in 1999 as part of An Foras Teanga / The North / South Language Body, the North/South implementation body charged with the promotion of the Irish language and Ulster-Scots culture and language under the Good Friday / Belfast Agreement. Under the auspices of that body Foras na Gaeilge has responsibility in relation to the Irish Language.

This entails facilitating and encouraging the speaking and writing of Irish in the public and private arena in the Republic of Ireland, and in Northern Ireland where there is appropriate demand, in the context of part three of the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages.

The staff of Bord na Gaeilge, An Gúm (Publishers), and An Coiste Téarmaíochta (Terminology Committee) and their activities were all transferred to the new body. The functions of Bord na Leabhar Gaeilge and Colmcille were transferred to Foras na Gaeilge in 2008.

Foras na Gaeilge has a key role in advising administrations, North and South, as well as public bodies and other groups in the private and voluntary sectors in all matters relating to the Irish language as well as the supportive projects it undertakes with grant-aiding bodies and groups throughout the island of Ireland.

The functions of Foras na Gaeilge are as follows:

promotion of the Irish language

facilitating and encouraging its use in speech and writing in public and private life in

the South and, in the context of Part III of the European Charter for Regional or

Minority Languages, in Northern Ireland where there is appropriate demand;

advising both administrations, public bodies and other groups in the private and

3

voluntary sectors;

undertaking supportive projects, and grant-aiding bodies and groups as considered

necessary;

undertaking research, promotional campaigns, and public and media relations;

developing terminology and dictionaries;

supporting Irish-medium education and the teaching of Irish.

There is a clear and increasing demand from the public North and South for further supports, opportunities for use and engagement with the Irish language as evidenced by empirical research, census data and the success of Irish-medium education. Foras na Gaeilge plays a key role in meeting this demand.

Foras na Gaeilge currently has 5 offices – the Headquarters and separately An Gúm in Dublin, along with offices in Belfast, Gaoth Dobhair and Ráth Chairn.

Foras na Gaeilge has 16 Board members (at full complement) with responsibility for the body and at the moment the organisation has 58 full time employees (although the number approved by the NSMC is in excess of this).

The sponsor departments of Foras na Gaeilge are the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht affairs (DAHRRG) in the South and the Department for Communities (DfC) in the North.

The following grant support was provided by the sponsor departments for 2015:

Current Dublin leases of Foras na Gaeilge

Foras na Gaeilge has had a lease on its Headquarters at 7 Merrion Square since its foundation in 1999. The lease that was on the property is a 35 year lease signed by Bord na Gaeilge on 1.5.1980. The lease was inherited by Foras na Gaeilge when Bord na Gaeilge functions were transferred. The lease officially expired on 30.4.2015 but has subsequently been extended to 30.4.2017 (see business cases submitted April 2015 and June 2016).

Foras na Gaeilge also has a rolling sub lease arrangement with NEPS in relation to 24-27 North Fredrick Street, which currently houses the operations of An Gúm. This sublease arrangement is due to expire on 31.5.2017 with no prospect of renewal.

The total rent roll on both of these properties in 2015 was €475,000.

As has been set out in the previous business cases, management is of the view that the use of two sites in Dublin for Foras na Gaeilge staff is inefficient and is potentially holding back the future development of the organisation. It is therefore a key priority to bring all Foras na Gaeilge staff in Dublin under one roof.

Current Dublin rental market

The current Dublin rental market is characterised by price levels and demand that match or exceed those at the peak of the last property boom of 2006-2008 (SCSI report 2015). The vacancy rate in Dublin city centre at the end of Q4 2015 was as low as 3.7% (JIL 2016 Outlook). Asking rental prices are now ranging €60-€65 per sq ft/€645-€700 per sq m . The market is moving well ahead of other UK and European capital city locations and has effectively been ‘decoupled’ for the market in the rest of Ireland.

With this we are faced with the clear need to have the headquarters of Foras na Gaeilge in or close to Dublin City Centre but to achieve this at a time when the Dublin office rental market is at its highest level of demand ever recorded. Foras na Gaeilge is effectively competing with large multinational corporations (particularly IT/financial) with substantial resources at their disposal.

Defects with current property at Merrion Square

While arguably the age and character of the current HQ at Merrion square is appropriate for a cultural and language organisation (Georgian facade dates from the 1700s and is a ‘protected structure’), remaining on at the location long term will entail significant ongoing expenditure just to keep the buildings at a ‘stand still’ position. These costs are also likely to increase over time, particularly in relation to the Georgian building. There are currently a number of significant defects and issues relating to the site including (please also see report from Martin Murray architects attached):

Water ingress

Evidence of subsidence

Poor natural lighting and ventilation

Dated and unsuitable sanitary facilities

Lack of on-site parking

Very poor energy efficiency / environmentally poor

Lack of proper/modern disabled access

The effect of all of above on staff morale and public image

5

Substantial financial commitment would be required to bring the site to an acceptable condition as a long term headquarters for Foras na Gaeilge. Were this commitment forthcoming from the sponsor departments a world class cultural site could be developed on the site which would sit perfectly with other cultural institutions in the area, including the National Galley, the redeveloped Goethe Institute and the RIAI. However, it would take a number of years (4+) of support and commitment from a number of parties (OPW, sponsor departments and government) to fulfil this vision (details of which are set out in the Martin Murray report).

Savings & efficiencies

The analysis below will detail the potential savings and efficiencies that we believe are achievable by relocation to the preferred location. These include:

Costs savings in relation to heating and lighting

Costs savings in relation to the reduction of maintenance costs and the elimination of

dilapidation costs

Costs and time savings re travel between offices for meetings

More efficient use of space leading to lower storage costs

Ease of access for both Board, staff and visitors

Long term home with a positive impact on the Irish Language

Ultimately what Foras na Gaeilge is striving for is to secure a modern, long term ‘home’ for the organisation, to provide it with a firm foundation and allow it to focus full energies and resources on providing the best possible service and experience to the public.

This decision comes at a pivotal time for the Irish Language and the achievement of a flagship project such as this could be a catalyst for positive momentum, leading to other positive non-monetary spin offs such as increased profile and improved public image of the language and the organisation, attracting and retaining high calibre talent and providing tangible evidence of progress in relation to the 20 year strategy for the Irish language (2010-2030) during the decade of centenaries.

Foras na Gaeilge are currently paying below market rent on both Dublin properties. For realistic comparative purposes, estimates are made later in the document in the option selection section in relation to current market rents. As mentioned above, market rents are now ranging €60-65 per sq ft in Dublin City Centre – Foras na Gaeilge are currently paying roughly €17 on a per sq ft basis at Merrion Square.

Section 3.1: Need

The vision of Foras na Gaeilge is to promote the Irish language on the island of Ireland. One third of the population of the island live in the greater Dublin area. It is a vital tool of the organisation that it has offices in / or near Dublin City Centre to facilitate its work throughout the island. The mission of Foras na Gaeilge is “Úsáid na Gaeilge sa saol laethúil a mhéadú agus a normalú agus saíocht na Gaeilge a chur i láthair an tsaoil. (To increase and normalise the use of Irish in daily life and to show the heritage of the language to the world)”

A Dublin City Centre location is a pre-requisite in achieving the above because:

It enables the organisation to demonstrate and support the daily use of Irish in

the capital city

It provides employment opportunities for Irish speakers

It ensures that the greatest numbers of the public can access the support and

advice resources of Foras na Gaeilge

It maintains the status of the language and its development both North and South

It provides the platform for Foras na Gaeilge to fulfil its remit with regard to

advising government and departments in relation to the Irish Language

Having a Dublin City Centre base adds greatly to the effectiveness of the

implementation of the Foras na Gaeilge business and corporate plans.

From a practical perspective in terms of the current staff profile, we have conducted a

staff survey to fully understand the impact of our office location from both a transport

and status perspective. The survey results indicate that the Dublin team is split

roughly 50:50 between Northside and Southside of the Liffey and that while a wide

variety of transport modes are used the majority currently use DART or private car. A

very clear finding of the survey was that an office move outside of the city centre in

any direction would have significant adverse consequences for up to half of staff

which could lead to retention issues. This is partly a result of the particularities of the

Dublin transport network which can mean that an office move of just a couple of

miles would add between 30 and 60 minutes to commuter times.

The staff numbers detailed below (62) are based on the current FTE complement of

both Foras na Gaeilge and Raidió na Life in Dublin (42) in addition of 10 hot desks

for each organisation. Hot desks are a vital component of service provision for both

organisations for different reasons. For Foras na Gaeilge this is because of the all-

Ireland footprint of the organisation and the regular need for regional staff to work

from the headquarters in Dublin. For Raidió na Life this is due to the

community/voluntary worker base with in the region of 100 people involved weekly

with a maximum of 10 on site at any one time. Future staff projections are difficult at

this juncture but numbers are expected to increase to at least 75 in the medium term

on the basis of:

Increased demand for and interest in the Irish Language leading to increase

demand for services

Up to 70 staff officially approved for Foras na Gaeilge by the NSMC (increase of

8

12 vs current numbers)

An number of key skills gaps in the organisation chart that will need to be

addressed in coming years

We estimate (conservatively) that approximately 500 m2 of space is currently

underutilised or not in use in our two Dublin offices. This is primarily due to the

vagaries of the Georgian building at Merrion Square and the ad hoc nature of the

construction and layout on the rest of the site over the years. Therefore while this

relocation would entail a significant headline reduction in m2 per FTE, we believe that

this will not adversely affect service delivery – indeed it should be enhanced given

the modern buildings we are seeking to relocate to.

Accommodation Requirements

Current FTEs 62 per above

Future FTE Projections c75 (70 - number of staff approved by NSMC is an increase of 12 vs 62 above)

FTEs to be Accommodated: 62 at present

Required No of Workstations: 75

Required m2

per FTE: Minimum standard according to advice (architectural/OPW) for normal office accommodation is 12 m

2 however for editing and cultural

operations involved in Foras na Gaeilge at least 20 m2

is considered more appropriate. The preferred option will provide for this.

Location Constraints

Central Dublin location an absolute pre-requisite.

Huge demand for same central Dublin property and rental market above previous peak in terms of pricing.

Sufficient space to house all Foras na Gaeilge Dublin staff and operations at reasonable cost.

Current accommodation at Merrion Square and Fredrick Court is in need of significant modernisation and becoming increasingly inappropriate (and unavailable in the case of Fredrick Court given lease expiry).

Other Key Requirements (for example: number and size of meeting rooms, executive offices, space for specialist equipment, storage etc)

Ideally Foras na Gaeilge would have a requirement for:

approximately 5 meeting rooms (between 10 m2

and 20 m

2 )

Board room to fit c 20 - 25 persons

Minimal executive offices (up to 6)

Room for accommodation of Raidió na Life, to include 3 to 4 studios and roof aerial equipment

Comms room for IT equipment located above ground floor level

Storage on site for valuable An Gúm historical catalogue (An Gúm’s book stock is held at a

separate location and does not impact this case)

A welcome hall / forum facility for hosting team meetings and public events to support the Irish

Language

The preferred option will provide all of the above requirements.

How have the accommodation requirements been assessed?

Engagement with the team and management, including I.T. specialists and architectural advice. These requirements have been assessed vis-à-vis the available property options and cost constraints in the current market.

Has OPW reviewed the accommodation requirements? □Yes □No

We have engaged with senior officials in OPW over a 3 year period in an effort seek appropriate support in relation to the sourcing of appropriate office accommodation for Foras na Gaeilge. However, OPW efforts have been without success. The challenging market conditions in Dublin may be a contributory factor in this.

10

Section 4: State Objectives and Constraints

Project Objectives Measurable Targets

1. Obtain accommodation that provides sufficient space to perform the operations of Foras na Gaeilge properly and provide our services to the public.

1.1 Min 20 m2

per FTE

1.2 Accommodation with footprint capable of accommodating requirements above (board room, Raidió na Life, An Gúm storage etc)

2. Look to minimise the rental cost at a time when rates of €645 to €700 per sq m are being demanded in key office locations in Dublin city centre. Negotiation skills and confidentiality will be key in these endeavours.

2.1 Maximum Cost per m2

of €450 (35% below peak market rates)

3. Achieve a long term home for Foras na Gaeilge in Dublin City Centre.

3.1 Agree a long term lease (up to 20 years with Break Clause) on a modern fully fitted building which should require minimal investment from Foras na Gaeilge and such that the relocation issue would not need to be revisited in the short to medium term allowing full focus on service provision.

4. Source a modern well fitted building that will enhance the status of Foras na Gaeilge as a current and potential employer in addition to providing opportunity for energy savings and other efficiencies. This would include a hall/conference room available for the Foras na Gaeilge team and public events promoting the Irish Language.

4.1 Retention and attraction of key talent by the organisation post relocation – target of sub 10% staff turnover (ex retirements) – increase of 20% in applications for positions in Foras na Gaeilge. 4.2 Target up to 20% savings in annual light, heat and maintenance costs post relocation.

5. Ideally source a location with up to 20 car parking spaces for staff, department officials and board members who are car dependent.

5.1 Target location with up to 20 car parking spaces for car dependent staff, department officials and board members.

Constraints Measures to Address

1. Timing of business case and budget approval is key to enable Foras na Gaeilge to engage fully with agents / landlord and avail of opportunity presented by the preferred option. The current Dublin market is moving at a fast pace.

Submit business case while communicating urgency in terms of timing. Maintaining absolute confidentiality and discretion is of paramount importance in bringing the project to a successful conclusion.

2. Timing of completion of works to be monitored to ensure deadlines are met – lease on Fredrick court expires 31 May 2017 and relocation must occur before this date.

Continuous engagement with Landlord, surveyors, architects and teams to monitor and look to ensure no slippage on agreed timetables and standards are as agreed.

Status Quo

Address 7 Merrion Square Dublin 2

Summary In depth report has been prepared by Martin Murray Architects analysing options re this property (attached with this business case). Two main options (effectively option 1A and 1B):

A. Minimum short term investment option

would see an up-front spend of c

€500,000 to keep the building viable as

office accommodation and to seek a

short term lease extension in region of 5

years.

B. Medium to long term option would

involve a spend of €3.6m to €6m over a 4

year period to bring the site to ideal

standard and to seek a long term lease

(as part of redevelopment) in the region

of 20 years.

Initial Assessment Merrion square is a fantastic location from a cultural, political and transport link perspective. It is an ideal location to base a vibrant cultural organisation. However the aging buildings are at a stage where significant investment will be required just to maintain their viability as office space. Martin Murray architects have presented an ambitious design which would achieve this in the context of other developments in the area (such as the arrival of Twitter nearby) but significant engagement, support and investment would be required at OPW, departmental and ministerial level to fulfil this and it would be a project spanning several years. We are therefore using a working assumption in this business case that only option 1A should be shortlisted. While remaining on at Merrion square is a viable alternative in terms of housing the entire Foras na Gaeilge Dublin staff there are a number of drawbacks as follows:

OPW, as landlords, have indicated an

unwillingness to enter into a new long

term rental arrangement with Foras na

Gaeilge. Furthermore, they have indicated

that any investment in the property would

S

12

need to come via Foras na Gaeilge/the

sponsor departments.

The requirement for significant upfront

and long term investment is a significant

drawback to this option (both 1A and 1B).

It is likely that maintenance and upkeep

costs would continue to be high and are

likely to increase over time, particularly in

relation to the protected Georgian part of

the building. There would be limited if any

opportunities for efficiency savings in

terms of energy usage etc.

Any new lease signed with the OPW

would involve an increase in rent from

the current level. At current market rates

this could be anything between €375 and

€485 per sq m – equivalent to a rent roll in

the region of €700,000 to €800,000 per

annum (an increase of c€320,000 to

€420,000).

Address 63-66 Amien Street Dublin 1

Summary See summary above – preferred option. Initial Assessment Our initial assessment is that this option will enable Foras na Gaeilge to fully meet almost all of the requirements set out above and to do this in a cost effective manner. The only question mark over this property would be from a location perspective as the area is not as well known as Merrion Square from a cultural and political perspective. This area of Dublin 1 has seen significant development in recent years with the advent of the IFSC and it is likely that this development will continue in future years. We are very aware of the responsibility of Foras na Gaeilge to the public and to provide encouragement and support to them to engage with the Irish language. We are also very conscious of the requirement to engage with and provide advice to government and government departments and proximity to the Dáil and surrounding area is important. However, overall we feel that the minor drawbacks relating to this option in terms of locations are overshadowed by the significant benefits in terms of meeting virtually all of the other objectives.

S

3

Address 104 Baggot Street Dublin 2

Summary Newly refurbished Georgian Building and mews in similar mould to 7 Merrion Square but with smaller footprint. Initial Assessment Our initial view of this option was that it could provide a viable alternative to options 1 and 2, however as the scale of development became clearer it has become apparent that there would not be sufficient space under this option to house Raidió na Life on site and to allow for appropriate meeting room and storage facilities.

R

Overall this accommodation is too small to achieve all objectives, particularly in relation to Raidió na Life, meeting rooms and storage. There would also be similar issues to Merrion square with regard to the upkeep of the Georgian building and the inefficiencies attaching. In addition, the cost is significantly above that of option 2 at €404 per sq m (pre running costs).

4 Outright purchase option

Address N/A

Summary By way of comparison we have included an estimated cost of purchasing outright the building mentioned under option 2. The dynamics of the current Dublin market ar such that it is currently much more cost effective to purchase property outright than to rent accommodation. Based on the projected rent roll for option 1 or 2 above it is estimated that a building valued in the region of €7m-€10m could be purchased outright by Foras na Gaeilge with mortgage finance. This would mean that a valuable asset would be available to the organisation at the end of the mortgage term providing greater security and flexibility. Please see ‘tacaíocht cás gnó oifigí.xls’. Initial Assessment While the outright purchase option is clearly more economically advantageous in the current climate, we understand that there would be some reluctance on the part of sponsor departments to sanction the purchase of such an asset by Foras na Gaeilge.

R

We understand that this option would not be sanctioned / supported by the sponsor departments.

In the region of 20 other properties were considered and analysed for comparative purposes, including several suburban locations but were rejected prior to ‘long list’ stage on various grounds (primarily cost grounds)

ÁIS- information note All of the above options involve the relocation of ÁIS book distribution operations off-site to a location on the M50 ring. This will be done in order to:

Greatly reduce storage costs

Enhance distribution with easy access to M50 and national motorway network

Use city centre real estate in a more appropriate manner as office space

Several sites have already been identified in Dublin 15, 13 and 11 which will provide an appropriate storage and distribution facility at a fraction of the cost attaching to the current arrangement in Dublin City Centre. The annual rents being quoted are in the €10,000 to €20,000 per annum range for warehouse facilities in the order of 400 sq m. While this expenditure is below the level requiring a business case in the Financial Memorandum (€37,500), we have included details here for completeness. There will be fit out and relocation costs associated with this move and these have been factored in to the estimates below (€500,000 under option 2).

Commentary:

1. Merrion Square holds a certain cachet from a location perspective and therefore

remaining at this location should be a positive even under the minimum investment

scenario (1A). However, although Merrion Square is the most positive location from a

status perspective, without significant investment and overhaul (option 1B) over the

longer term impact on the status of the Irish language is likely to become more

negative (i.e. being associated with an aging and inappropriate building). Option 2

provides the opportunity to reimagine the organisation in a new and modern

environment more befitting a modern headquarters – this is therefore viewed as

significantly positive from a status perspective.

2. Transport links are excellent to either location (Merrion Square or Amien Street),

however, Amien Street does add the additional benefits over Merrion square of

proximity to the LUAS, Busáras and all major intercity services.

3. As per commentary on 1 and 2 above, if significant investment and departmental

commitment was available Option 1B would provide the maximum impact long term

on this measure. That said, Option 2 is expected to also have a significantly positive

impact long term. Option 1A, status quo, is expected to have a negative impact under

this heading which would only increase over time as workplace standards increase

elsewhere.

4. Even a full redevelopment the Georgian element of the Merrion Square site would

continue to be sub-optimal from a sustainability perspective. Therefore Option 2

provides a clear benefit and positive impact here, leading to both cost and

environmental benefits.

5. One of the key advantages of Option 2 is the ability to structure the relocation such

that disruption will be kept to a minimum and Foras na Gaeilge will be walking in to a

fully finished building from day 1 of the lease. Under option 1B a potential period of 4

years plus would be involved to bring the building to the appropriate standard. While

the end result may be ideal, it will involve significant disruption of staff and public

before realisation. Option 1A brings with it the risks of disruption due to regular

business interruption events, such as water ingress, flooding, overheating of IT

equipment etc. not to mention the effects of the on-going work on staff and the work

Option 1A Option 1B Option 2

1. Delay in business plan approval leads to loss of commercial opportunity.

Low

Low

High

This is the one area where a high risk is attached to option 2 because of the time sensitive nature of the negotiations in the context of the current rental market. The more time that passes the more likely it is that other parties could become aware of the opportunity which would negatively impact on Foras na Gaeilge in terms of price/availability.

2.Development/fit out does not meet standard expected.

Low

High

Med

The higher the level of spend on fit out / redevelopment the higher the level of risk attaching to successful implementation. This element will need to be monitored closely under all options.

3.OPW take aggressive approach to end of lease terms and seek vacation of property before relocation possible.

Med

Med

Low

OPW engagement to date has been intermittent and has been very focussed on looking to achieve maximum commercial return rather than evidencing a collaborative approach with another state body. Continued engagement with OPW will be important in mitigating this risk.

4.OPW seek increase in rent in excess of that anticipated on 7MS

Med

Med

Low

Per 3 above.

5. Collapse in Dublin rental market valu es

Low

Med

Low

Property markets are notoriously difficult to predict, however looking to agree a lease at well below peak market levels offers the best chance of mitigating the risk of overpaying in a downturn. Foras na Gaeilge do not intend to agree to any ‘upward only’ clauses in any lease entered into.

Overall Risk Level (High/Medium/Low)

Low

Overall Option 2 is seen as the lowest risk option in terms of minimising cost exposure and dependency on either OPW or the sustainability of current market conditions.

Section 9: Summarise the Option Comparisons and Identify a Preferred Option

In summary, the preferred option taking all factors into consideration is option 2. Option 2 provides the most cost effective solution on both an annual and NPC basis as evidenced above. It also fulfils almost all of the objectives and requirements identified by Foras na Gaeilge for its new Headquarters (both monetary and non-monetary). Ultimately the cost differential is a key factor in making this recommendation. Additional one-off capital support outside of the normal current 2017 budget (as per other North/South bodies) will be required (see section 10 below) under all options but option 2 provides an immediate tangible return on this investment which the other options do not.

Section 11: Project Management

The project is being lead and managed by the Director of Corporate Services (Shane Ó hEidhin), with support from CEO and other appropriate staff as appropriate. The project is expected to take approximately 6 – 9 months to completion (est April 2017). Key issues to be managed will be:

Interactions with relevant Departments to ensure business case is approved in a

timely and effective manner.

Negotiation of heads of terms with landlord and their agents.

Negotiation of formal lease terms (contractual and legal expertise required).

Communication with staff and management of expectations around timing and

impact of the move (this will include interaction with trade unions but issues are not

anticipated).

Managing the move of ÁIS to M50 warehouse and ensuring business continuity re

same.

Managing the interaction with landlord and their agents in relation to the timing and

completion of fit out works to ensure delivery in line with timescales.

Exit of current leases at Merrion Square and Fredrick Court to be managed with

OPW – this is expected to be straightforward given flexibility shown by OPW on this

point and leases officially due to expire 30.4.17 and 31.5.17 respectively.

Managing the processes of the relocation itself to ensure no gap in service, data

integrity and an efficient 24/48 hour switch over (including IT).

Section 12: Monitoring, and Evaluation Arrangements

Monitoring of project will be the primary responsibility of the Director of Corporate

Services.

Full evaluation will be provided on successful completion of the relocation project

(expected c May/June 2017) and on ultimate expiry of lease period.

Interim evaluation will be provided in the event of any possible break clause/

termination
