Plans to replace this office with a new one are at an advanced stage. The Office of Public Works, which is responsible for the provision of accommodation for my Department, has identified a replacement office on Parnell St and it is expected that these new premises will be ready for occupation by end 2008. The scale of works required to make the current building accessible to persons with disabilities could not be justified on the grounds of time and costs.
