Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

In line with the Office of Public Works policy relating to the issue of surplus State Property, the first stage is to determine if another State Body has use for the asset.

A feasibility study is currently underway to examine the potential for two State Agencies to utilise the property. It is anticipated that this property will be in effective State use by the end of the year.
