Following the Government decision to decentralise 125 civil servants to New Ross, the OPW assessed a number of proposals to provide a property solution at this location.

A suitable town centre property solution proposal from the local authority has now been identified and negotiations to acquire this site will commence shortly.

The latest decentralisation implementation group report of June 2005 specifies an indicative timeframe of building completion to be early 2009.
