The capital budget for the provision of office accommodation for my Department under the decentralisation programme is the responsibility of the Office of Public Works (OPW). An advance office was established for my Department in Ardcavan, Co. Wexford, in June 2007, and accommodates some 48 staff. Rental costs for this office are a matter for the OPW. Costs to date incurred by the Department in relation to this property have included IT fit-out costs of approximately €85,000 and ongoing office maintenance costs in the region of €17,000 per quarter.
