Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 September 2021
235. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the locations of all offices and buildings either owned or used by his Department or by public bodies and agencies that operate under his remit which are usually open to the public to access services. [44918/21]
View answerDue to the nature of its role, my Department and the Office of Government Procurement, which is also part of my Department, have no office locations that provide services directly to the general public.
The Office of Public Works (OPW) also does not have public offices for the purpose of service delivery to the public but the Office manages a number of buildings and heritage sites around the country to which the public has access. Most of these are open, albeit subject to public health restrictions, and further information can be found on the OPW website.
With the exception of the Office of the Ombudsman, all other bodies under the aegis of my Department would not, under normal circumstances, be open to the public to access services. I have been advised that the office of the Office of the Ombudsman is currently closed to the public due to public health restrictions (located at 6 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 W773).
