The Institute of Public Administration (IPA) (Irish: An Foras Riaracháin)[1] is a recognised college of the National University of Ireland. It was founded in 1957 at a meeting in Newman House where Tom Barrington became the first director and John Leydon its first president.
The Institute's education, learning and development services are delivered through four key areas: the Whitaker School of Government and Management, Senior Public Service (SPS), OneLearning and Professional Development.
