The Office of Public Works, OPW, purchased a site in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, for the development of a local office for my Department. An application for planning permission was submitted by OPW to Leitrim County Council taking account of an accommodation brief of requirements for some 70 staff from my Department. I understand that a decision to grant permission was issued recently by the council.
The Department is currently reassessing the number of staff to be located in Drumshanbo in the light of the rationalisation of existing livestock schemes and the introduction of the single payment scheme.
