I am assuming this is how the html looks:

<div class="office-name">
    <p class="">Dublin
        <a target="abc" >View map</a>
        <a href="">View details</a>
    </p>
    <p class="abc">
        <a target="abc" >View map</a>
        <a href="">View details</a>
    </p>
</div>

Given that, one xpath that will work is:

//p[contains(text(), 'Dublin')]/a[contains(text(),'View details')]

Okay, sorry, I misunderstood your HTML. This selector will work, but I don't know if following is supported:

//div[@class='office-name']/p[contains(text(), 'Dublin')]/following::p/a[contains(text(),'View details')]

Try

//p[contains(text(), 'Dublin')]
 /following-sibling::p[@class="abc"][1]
     /a[contains(text(),'View details')]
