The Commissioners of Public Works have not been party to any review of the Equality Authority's presence in Roscrea. Decisions relating to staff based in Roscrea are a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality, and any downstream consequences for property in Roscrea will be considered by the Commissioners in conjunction with the Department of Justice and Equality in due course.
