The Office of Public Works (OPW) has a substantial portfolio of properties in its care. It has only one land bank, a 3.06 acre site in Thomastown, County Kilkenny that was acquired as part of the decentralisation programme for a new headquarters for the Health and Safety Authority. OPW has other properties in Carlow and Kilkenny. A list of these can be provided if required.

Any public lands in the ownership of the Local Authorities or Semi State Bodies is a matter for those organisations.
