In July 2012, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) staff based in Ballybay, Co. Monaghan were redeployed to DSP.
Sanction had been provided to Department of Social Protection (DSP) by Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER) to acquire additional staff to support the PSC function.
As all staff based in the building in Ballybay were transferring at that time to DSP, these staff took on the administrative arrangements for the Public Service Card and the Office of Public Works (OPW) reassigned occupancy and day-to-day responsibility for the building from DAFM to DSP.
