The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland (CPW), on behalf of the State, manage a large and diverse property portfolio of over 2,500 properties. These range from office accommodation to heritage properties, visitor centres, Garda Stations, among others.

The following table details the 126 properties by name, location, use and status.

While the Office of Public Works (OPW) has no responsibility for Court buildings, it provides technical and other services on request to the Courts Service in relation to its buildings. In recent years the OPW has not been requested to carry out any refurbishment works to the courthouse at Carndonagh, Co. Donegal and consequently it has no plans to do so.
