I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a site for the new decentralised offices in Newcastle West was purchased by the Office of Public Works (OPW) from Limerick County Council in 2005. Following due process a preferred tenderer was identified and a planning application was lodged with Limerick County Council which was granted on 26 March 2007. Working drawing and other documents are being prepared and on completion OPW anticipates being in a position to place the contract. I am advised by Revenue that OPW are not in a position to advise of a likely completion date at this time. Revenue, however, are ready to occupy the building as soon as it becomes available.
