The Department of Children and Youth Affairs was formally established on the 3rd of June. Staff are currently in the process of moving from their current location in Hawkins House, as part of the then Department of Health and Children, to new premises at 43 Mespil Road, Dublin 4. The lease for the Mespil Road offices is held by the OPW.

The Adoption Authority of Ireland (formerly the Adoption Board) is located in Shelbourne House, Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. The Authority occupy two floors of the building. The OPW is the contract holder for the lease.

The Children Acts Advisory Board offices were located at Phoenix House, Block 2, 28 Conyngham Road, Dublin 8 during 2008 and 2009. The OPW was the lease holder for the premises. At the end of January 2010 CAAB moved to Hawkins House pending the passage of the Child Care Amendment Bill, 2009 which will dissolve the Children Acts Advisory Board.

Neither the National Children's Advisory Council nor the National Childcare Coordinating Committee have offices.
