View answerThe property at Jamestown Road is used as a workshop for OPW Building Maintenance Services metal fabrication unit, and for OPW storage purposes. The roles performed on the site are a key part of OPW’s overall function, and the site is a live workplace for OPW staff.
In conjunction with adjoining properties outside of OPW ownership, the OPW lands at Jamestown Road have been identified by the Land Development Agency as having long term delivery potential for residential-led development and urban regeneration.
The OPW continue to work with the Land Development Agency and the Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage on potential future uses of the site and to ensure that OPW can continue to provide its existing service to Government.
