There are no plans at present to change the status of the Finglas social welfare office.
This office serves the customers of the Finglas area and currently handles a claim-load of 2,224 unemployed people. In addition, since October 2003 it also handles the claims for one-parent family payment for local customers.
The building also houses the regional headquarters for the Dublin north region inspectors and facilitators for the Finglas-Ballymun area and the maintenance recovery unit of the pension services office. The total number of staff working in the Finglas social welfare building is 65. The building is fully utilised.
