I hear the ICBF is moving house. I have it on good authority that the organisation is moving its headquarters from Bandon half an hour up the road to Cork City. Currently the ICBF works from Shinagh House in Bandon – leased from the four west Cork co-ops who own the building. The organisation is outgrowing its housing arrangement, with increased staff numbers.

Given the amount of joint work with Teagasc it was suggested previously that ICBF should go even further away from Bandon, and shack up with Teagasc in Moorepark.

Obviously ICBF are also looking to tap into the mainly city based software developers.
