The Government Office in Buncrana is primarily occupied by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP). At present, there are some 130 parking spaces on-site that are available for use by approx. 190 DEASP staff. This represents a favourable ratio of staff to parking compared to most other regional Government offices. In light of planned increases in staff numbers however, the issue of additional car parking was examined but it is not feasible to further increase parking capacity on site.
It is the Commissioners of Public Works' policy not to lease or licence stand-alone parking, but it is an option for any Department where such a need arises, to procure additional off site parking on that basis.
