Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys has today officially opened the Department of Social Protection’s new Intreo Centre in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
The Intreo facility will serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ - bringing together employment and support services that were previously being delivered in three different locations.
The services available from the new office include:
Commenting today, Minister Humphreys said:
“I am delighted to officially open my department’s new Intreo Centre here in Enniscorthy.
“Previously, the department’s services were situated in three different locations around the town.
“This new office will act as a ‘one-stop-shop’ - providing a more comprehensive service to families and citizens living in this growing community."
The new Intreo Office is the result of the successful expansion and reconfiguration of the department’s existing Employment Service office at Abbey Square, Bridgepoint.
In March 2022, the former Manager of the Social Welfare Branch Office in Enniscorthy, Seamus Redmond, retired from service after 44 years in the role.
To ensure continuity of service, the department provided services from the Branch Office’s existing location until the new Intreo Centre at Bridgepoint was completed in December 2022.
Minister Humphreys added:
“I always say that our motto in Social Protection is a simple one. ‘We are here to help’.
“And by creating this one stop shop, we will provide an even better service to the entire population of this town.
“This move also reflects my commitment, as Minister for Rural and Community Development, to ensure that our rural towns and villages have proper access to vital State services.
“Finally, I want to pay tribute to Seamus Redmond, the former Branch Office Manager in Enniscorthy who retired last year after providing 44 years of dedicated service to the role.
“I also want to sincerely thank and pay tribute to the staff in the office for their continued dedication in providing key services to families in Enniscorthy and the surrounding areas.”
The new Intreo Centre is located at Bridgepoint, Abbey Square, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford and consolidates services that were previously located at the following locations:
The Intreo Centre provides information and supports across the department’s schemes. There are a total of 18 staff working in the new Intreo Centre.
