Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I understand the Minister lives in Parlon country. Will the Minister speculate as to whether there will be signs next week in Parlon country reiterating the Minister of State's coup last year in regard to decentralisation? Specifically, is the proposal to decentralise certain public bodies, such as the IDA, still on track or will it be held back until such time as agreement can be reached with the staff in those organisations?
