I have been informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the average number of customers calling to Revenue House, Blackpool, Cork is three hundred and twenty five per day.

This is a new office, combining functions previously based at Sullivan's Quay and at Centre Park Road. There is a total of two hundred and eighty two spaces available to the office. This includes seventeen spaces for the public, two of which are for disabled parking. It also includes spaces for vehicle inspection for purposes of vehicle registration tax, parking for official Revenue/Customs vehicles, provision for delivery/collection, and secure facilities for seized vehicles.

Revenue's previous buildings had no facilities for public parking or for disabled parking, and the need for both was part of the requirement for Revenue House. Revenue is committed to maximum accessibility at this building. In the event that both spaces for disabled parking are used, special arrangements are made for further disabled customers.
