Following an advertisement in the national & local press seeking temporary office accommodation in Drumshanbo, a number of premises were inspected and evaluated against the Department of Agriculture & Food's requirements. Terms were invited from the owners of the two premises offered, which were judged to be capable of meeting the interim accommodation requirement, and following further evaluation, premises have been selected in consultation with the Department. Subject to valuer advice on the rental terms being sought, it is hoped to finalise the lease of the premises in question for a period of two years, (and quarterly thereafter, if necessary).
