The OPW announced late last year that a consortium, the Macquarie Partnership, has won the tender for the project to build the permanent offices in Portlaoise, Mullingar and Carlow (a design, finance, build and maintain contract). The planning permission process for the building in Portlaoise, which will accommodate over 800 staff, is underway. The site in Portlaoise is situated on the new orbital route, just off the Mountrath Road.
