Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

I wish to ask about the number of staff in the Taoiseach's Department who have decentralised or moved compared to the number of staff who have transferred from the Department to other Departments in Dublin. Currently, some staff being decentralised are moving from one room to another and are being designated as decentralised staff because they have been redeployed within the same building.

What is the level of real decentralisation from Dublin to the regions? Will the Taoiseach provide an example from his own Department of how many people have transferred to other Departments in Dublin compared to those who have actually decentralised?
