About the IPA
The Institute of Public Administration (IPA) is the Irish public sector management development agency. It was founded in 1957 by a group of public servants. Its aim is to promote the study, and improve the standard, of public administration; to develop a sense of vocation in public servants and to foster understanding between the public and public servants.
The IPA currently offers a wide range of services, which broadly cover education, training and development, research and publishing. Our services are delivered mainly to clients in the Irish Public Service, but we also have a strong reputation and demand for our services internationally. The Institute is a recognised College of the National University of Ireland.
