This morning.
Custom House, Dublin 1.
The Office of Public Works (OPW) announced it will plant 190 native trees across the country to mark its 190th anniversary this year, having been founded in late 1831.
Minister for the Office of Public Works, Patrick O’Donovan planted the first tree, a native Sessile oak, at the Custom House, which served as the first office for the OPW 190 years ago.
The OPW is responsible for the implementation of government policy for Planning & Estate management, Heritage, and Flood Risk management.

Where did the Millenium trees go? One planted for every household in the country?
