All Intreo and Social Welfare Offices

This directory lists 124 public offices of the Department of Social Protection: 62 Intreo Centres, 55 Social Welfare Branch Offices and 7 dedicated PPS and Public Services Card centres.

Intreo Centres combine income support (claims and payments) with employment services such as job search help and training. Branch Offices are run locally on behalf of the Department and handle claims, forms and, in many cases, Public Services Card registration.
