The Office of Public Works (OPW) is the owner/leaseholder of all State property assets. In that regard, OPW is responsible for the provision of a centralised service in the allocation of appropriate accommodation in the most economic way possible while protecting the State property portfolio.
OPW has advised my Department that the accommodation lease in Parnell House will be surrendered in 2015 and OPW is currently in the process of seeking suitable alternative accommodation for the CRO. No decision on an alternative location has been made at this stage.
My Department will continue to work with the OPW in this regard.
