In April 2007, following a competitive tendering process, the Commissioners of Public Works awarded a fixed price contract in the sum of €14,992,575.00, inclusive of VAT, to construct new decentralised Headquarter offices for the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism at New Road, Killarney. Works were completed in December 2008, and the building was subsequently occupied by the Department. The sum quoted relates to the cost of building construction only and does not include the cost of site acquisition, furniture, kitchen fit-out and the Department's I.T. and telephone installation costs.
