Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The Taoiseach stated 18% of his staff applied for relocation. He put a figure of 39 staff on it and stated that ten former members of staff were already assigned to decentralised posts. Does this have any meaning? Have any of them been decentralised or have they even moved outside of the Taoiseach's office? Is it just that they are applicants who may be called on if the opportunities or vacancies arise?
