OPW

The Office of Public Works (OPW) (legally the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland), is an Irish Government entity whose primary function is to support the implementation of Government policy and advise the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works, principally in the disciplines of property (including heritage properties) and flood risk management. The OPW has a central role in driving the Government's property asset management reform process in respect of its own portfolio and that of the wider public service.
It was established on 15th October 1831, known commonly as the Board of Works, a name which it retained unofficially for many years. Overtime the shorter name "OPW" came into common use.
