The decentralisation of the Office of Public Works (OPW) to Claremorris will take place in two phases. The first phase deals with the setting up of an advance office in Claremorris and in this regard, OPW has secured leased accommodation and tenders are now being evaluated for the building fit out works. It is expected that the accommodation for the advance office will be ready for occupation in the second quarter of 2007.
OPW has acquired the site for the main decentralised office in Claremorris. OPW has requested experienced developers/contractors to submit Expressions of Interest on this building project. The indicative timeframe for the completion of the construction of the main decentralised office in Claremorris is in early 2009.
