The Probation Service Office is situated at Kilcruttin Business Park, Cormac Street, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, R35V9P3 in a premises leased by the OPW. I am advised that a case has been made to the OPW to relocate the office. The OPW have identified suitable accommodation and the plan is for Probation Services to relocate once the premises has been fitted out. In the meantime, the Probation Service has regard to child protection and safeguarding issues in organising its engagement with offenders at its current location.

Nationwide, the Probation Service shares office accommodation with other Government Agencies such as Revenue, Agriculture, Food and Marine, and the Department of Social Protection.
