In regard to offices being used by my Department, I can confirm that the reception areas of my Department’s three main buildings in Athlone, Dublin and Tullamore are usually open to the public. However, the reception areas in these offices are closed to the public at present, due to the restrictions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Contact details for the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department are set out in the attached document should the Deputy wish to contact them directly with her query.
