Location and Facilities:

Public Affairs Ireland operates from 25 Mountjoy Square, Dublin, one of the 42 surviving original buildings of the Mountjoy Square developed by the Gardiner Estate between 1793 and 1818. The main building retains original features such as the Portland stone floating stairs and arched recesses, as well as particularly fine plasterwork. Public Affairs Ireland is continuing the restoration work started by previous owners and is adapting the building to meet the needs of a state-of-the-art training centre. Facilities include 6 training rooms in the main building and a modern annex, breakout rooms, media rooms, cafeteria, restaurant, research facilities and library.

Training rooms have natural daylight and tall ceilings, as well as modern projection facilities and wireless internet access.
