About Us

The Institute of Public Administration is Ireland’s only public service development agency focused exclusively on public sector development. It delivers its service through:

• education and training, building people’s capability to meet challenges
• direct consultancy, solving problems and helping plan and shape the future
• research and publishing - understanding what needs to be done and making these findings readily available.

We tailor our services to the particular needs of the public service. Our blend of skill and experience means that we can develop and offer a service which meets public service needs precisely and effectively. Whilst our services are delivered mainly to clients in the Irish Public Service, we have a strong reputation and demand for our services internationally also.
