CIOB in Ireland Dublin Office
	The CIOB was delighted earlier this year to be opening its first ever Branch office in Dublin. On March 10th, the official opening took place at the office in Fitzwilliam Business centre on Sir John Rogersons Quay in Dublin city centre. The official opening was undertaken by the then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and was attended by many prestigious members of the construction community, the educational community, government bodies and CIOB members.
This Dublin office is now the administration hub of the CIOB in Ireland. All CPD events, membership queries, student information and course details are available from this location. The office is staffed by the Centre Administrator Ms Niamh O’ Gorman who is available Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm. Her contact details are: Tel 01 6401846 or e-mail nogorman@ciob.org.uk This office is viewed as the signal for the expansion of the CIOB in Ireland. We hope that this new location assists all existing members in getting the most from their membership and that it will also enable potential new members to acquire all the relevant information to assist them in becoming a CIOB member.
