Details
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is an Irish government department responsible for some of the most high-profile policy areas in the country. Headquartered at the Custom House in Dublin, the department leads national efforts on housing supply, homelessness, planning, local government, water services, nature, and Ireland's built and natural heritage.
The department is currently driving the Delivering Homes, Building Communities action plan, a major national programme aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes and tackling homelessness across Ireland. It also oversees Heritage Ireland 2030, the national heritage plan, and works closely with local authorities, state agencies, and community organisations to deliver services that affect people's everyday lives.
Working here means contributing to policy that shapes how Ireland lives, grows, and preserves its identity. Staff benefit from a structured public sector career, professional development opportunities, and the chance to work on issues that matter to communities across the country.
