The Office of Public Works furniture branch is being decentralised to Trim. All necessary facilities will be provided for the furniture branch to carry out its functions. The future of the premises at Mountshannon Road will be considered in the context of the Office of Public Works property strategy within the greater Dublin area. The staffing levels in the furniture division will be determined by the Office of Public Works ongoing strategy for providing the furniture and other requirements to Government Departments.
