The Management Board of my Department, following the advice of the National Emergency Co-ordination Group, decided in light of the predicted severe weather warning during Storm Emma and having regard to the safety of the staff and the public, that the Department’s offices in Dublin, Wexford and Cavan would close on Thursday and Friday, 1 and 2 March, 2018.
No staff member suffered a loss of pay or annual leave as a result of this office closure.
The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
