Work is well advanced on the preparation of contract documents for a new Government office block at Caherina, Tralee, to centralise staffs of the Revenue Commissioners, Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, Department of Labour and Department of the Environment. It is expected that a contract will be placed early next year and the building will take approximately two years to complete. In the meantime, it was necessary to carry out works at Oakpark to relieve overcrowding among Department of Agriculture staff in the premises generally and to bring conditions up to a proper standard to comply with fire and safety regulations.
