The Probation Service office is situated at Kilcruttin Business Park, Cormac Street, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, in a premises leased by the OPW. I am advised that the Probation Service has ongoing child protection and safeguarding issues in organising its engagement with offenders at its current location.

I am further advised that the OPW has identified suitable alternative accommodation with the intention for the Probation Service to relocate once the premises has been fitted out.
