Minister for Social Protection

While the Department of Social Protection has a presence in Government Buildings, Millennium Centre, Dundalk, the Revenue Commissioners are the main tenant of the building. As such they are responsible for arranging the opening and closing of the building. The Minister for Social Protection has therefore no statement to make on the matter.
