Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

It has been agreed that Ballina and Galway will stay open because of the range, size and scale of activity in those locations. We have identified a saving of at least €300,000 in respect of the reduced board membership. Further savings will follow and I will be delighted to update the Deputy on them as they accrue. The move to Carrick-on-Shannon is on hold in line with the decision to put all of the decentralisation project on hold.
