My Department, in conjunction with the Office of Public Works, has agreed a multi-annual maintenance programme which is designed to ensure that the Department's building stock is retained in good condition. This programme consists of a variety of maintenance measures that will progressively improve and upgrade the standard of accommodation.
My Department is also engaged in a consolidation of its current locations with the aim of reducing the number of its locations in Dublin from six buildings to three by the end of 2009. It is envisaged that this consolidation will permit a more focused and cost-effective approach to maintenance works.
