The roll-out of Intreo services in the town in question is targeted for Q1 2015 and will operate from two locations, with the Local Office remaining in its current location. The Office of Public Works has reached agreement with the HSE on a suitable property in the town for the second location required to accommodate the employment activation element and some other services. A planning application has been made to Cork County Council, and subject to no appeals and subsequent delays, it is expected that works will commence at this property in late 2014 for completion in early 2015.
