  • Office of Public Works Annual Report 2011
    Office of Public Works Annual Report 2011 1 Foreword by Minister I am pleased to present the 2011 Annual Report of the Office of Public Works (OPW). It was great privilege to have been asked by the Taoiseach to become Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW. I want to recognise the work of my predecessor, Dr. Martin Mansergh, who was OPW Minister from May 2008 to March 2011. 2011 was a particularly eventful year which saw the historic visits of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh to Ireland and the official visit from US President, President Barack Obama. OPW managed properties were to the fore during these visits with the Royal party staying in Farmleigh in the course of their visit and the same location provided the backdrop for President Obama’s meeting with the Taoiseach and the Government. The Queen visited Áras an Uachtaráin, the Garden of Remembrance, the Irish War Memorial Gardens, the Rock of Cashel and spoke eloquently at the State banquet hosted by the President Mary McAleese in Dublin Castle. OPW Heritage Services and Event Management staff performed with distinction in contributing to what was a memorable series of visits and were commended by the Government for the important role that they played. Visitor numbers to OPW guided sites grew by in excess of 5% to almost 3.5 million over the course of the year. The “Free-First-Wednesday” initiative is proving to be a considerable success and we will continue to introduce new initiatives to present our built heritage portfolio at its best.

The year began with Ireland again holding the Presidency of the EU from January to June. This represented an enormous undertaking for the OPW given the amount of State visits, meetings and conferences involved. I am happy to say that OPW performed with distinction throughout this period and particular credit must go to our Facilities Management staff for rising to the challenges. The decentralisation process announced by Minister Charlie McCreevy in 2003 is well underway with the selection of sites ongoing. Agreement was reached on the purchase of many properties throughout 2004 and Property Management Services continue to make substantial progress in delivering this programme within the agreed timeframe. Project Management Services also became involved in rolling out the programme in 2004 as the construction of new offices began to become a reality.
