Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 to 14, inclusive, together.

A total of 45 staff from my Department have applied through the central applications facility to relocate under the decentralisation programme, an increase of one since the expiry of the initial period for priority applications on 7 September 2004. Broken down by grade, there are seven assistant principals, nine administrative officers, four higher executive officers, 12 executive officers, two staff officers, ten clerical officers and one general operative.
