Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Matters relating to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion
Mr. Robert Watt:
There is a general issue of Dublin growth and what we are doing in the Civil Service. We are looking at establishing so-called satellite offices so that colleagues who work in Departments that are based in Dublin can turn up at a satellite office that might be in the outer regions of the commuting belt, log in there, and interact and work with their colleagues in their office in Dublin without having to come in. That is something Mr. David Cagney and his team are looking at. This morning we had a presentation, which was quite interesting.
