It is proposed to move elements of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to the former Department of Defence building on Infirmary Road, Dublin 7, which is adjacent to the new Criminal Courts Complex. The Department of Defence and elements of the Defence Forces are in the process of moving from Infirmary Road to the new Department of Defence Headquarters in Newbridge, County Kildare. The proposed move of elements of the DPP is part of the ongoing rationalisation of the State's property portfolio, designed to generate much needed savings for the Exchequer.
