Refurbishment works were undertaken at both the Coolock and the Kilbarrack Local Offices over the past 12 months.

In the Coolock local office, the public waiting area was enlarged and a new reception counter and extra customer service points were installed to cater for the increased numbers attending the office. An additional interview room was also constructed.

Refurbishment works undertaken at the Kilbarrack office included the installation of a new reception area and the modification of a number of counter service points. Some repairs to the roof were also required.

Having completed those improvements, there are no plans for further refurbishment works at either of these offices.
