The Government is to set up a new multi-agency base in the British capital, which will also house a re-located Irish embassy.
'Ireland House' will see the embassy and several agencies come together under one roof for the first time.
Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland will be located on a single site in central London.
A lease for the new site is expected to be signed "following due diligence under the Public Spending Code," the Government has said.
The building - to be located near Whitehall, the Mall and Trafalgar Square - is expected to open in early 2026.
It is expected to be ready in early 2026 following a refurbishment and fit-out.
The Government has said the exact location will be confirmed "once commercially sensitive lease negotiations are complete."
