Longford and Westmeath ETB (LWETB) was formed on 1^stJuly 2013 when Longford VEC and Westmeath VEC were dissolved. It was designated at that time by the then Minister that the Head Office for the ETB would be in Mullingar. No sub-office was designated however a second administrative office in which a number of LWETB staff are based operates in Longford town. I understand that there are no immediate plans to close the Longford office.
