The premises referred to is owned by the Office of Public Works, and provides accommodation for an extensive range of uses by Government Departments and State entities including An Garda Síochána, Tailte Éireann, the Revenue Commissioners, Court Services and the Department of Social Protection among others. It is an active site and its proximity to the city centre is an important consideration in meeting the needs of ongoing business activities.

The OPW keeps all properties within its portfolio under review considering future accommodation requirements of our client base, and broader government policy. Although this site was previously noted by the Land Development Agency as having long term potential as a redevelopment site for residential, there are currently no active plans to relocate existing activities from the site.
