Pobal established a temporary office in Mullingar during September 2019 and 10 staff are currently working from there.  A new space to accommodate up to 50 seats is expected to open during quarter one of 2020. This will consist mainly of National Childcare Scheme staff and a hot-desk area. The staff who will be based there are expected to be a mix of existing staff who will transfer there and newly hired staff.
