Minister Welcomes IFI's New Headquaters
Minister for Communications Energy and Natural Resources Pat Rabbitte TD has welcomed the arrival of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) to its new Head Quarters at Lake Drive in Citywest.
IFI is the State Agency with responsibility for the protection, conservation, management and promotion of Ireland's inland fish resources and of sea angling.
Minister Rabbitte said: "Accommodation is among the most significant cost components of public sector organisations and in line with Government policy the Board of IFI has undertaken a strategic rationalisation of its Dublin based accommodation. Following a review of some 100 options the Board has decided that Citywest is the optimal location."
On its establishment in 2010, IFI had accommodation at three locations in Swords, including leasing a headquarters building, and premises in Glasnevin and Blackrock. As part of this rationalisation, and in keeping with Government policy to exit from expensive leases wherever possible, IFI exercised the break clause on the Swords Headquarters when it arose and has already disposed of the Glasnevin premises.
