The building for my Department in Portlaoise forms part of a Public Private Partnership (PPP), which also includes accommodation for decentralising Departments in Mullingar and Carlow. The PPP process is approaching finalisation and the OPW advises that it expects to make a final report and recommendation to the Minister for Finance on this matter shortly.
