The Commissioners of Public Works are currently assessing a number of possibilities for a permanent accommodation solution for the Revenue staff, who will be decentralised to Athy. They have also recently completed the evaluation of a number of accommodation proposals for an advance group of Revenue staff, and, in light of this have made a recommendation to the Revenue Commissioners. A response from the Revenue Commissioners is expected shortly. The latest Decentralisation Implementation Group Report of September 2006 specifies an indicative timeframe of mid 2009 for the completion of a building in Athy for the decentralised Revenue Office.
