The former Government Offices at Kells Road, Navan are State-owned, so no rental costs arise. While the OPW has no immediate use for the building, it is a very valuable and strategic site, which will be retained by the State. A range of options for its longer-term use is being considered.

To maintain the basic fabric of the building and prevent its further deterioration, limited services were maintained. It is estimated that the costs to date are approximately €50,000.
