There are currently no Departmental staff members working in the building identified. However, as part of the roll-out of INTREO services across the country, the Office of Public Works has identified this building as being suitable for this purpose. The OPW are negotiating a potential purchase/lease of the building, with the Court appointed liquidator, with a view to the Department’s occupation in 2015.

In the meantime, the OPW is progressing plans to adapt the building for future use as an Intreo Centre.
