Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am asking the Head of Government about the status of the 2011 review. I have mentioned a symptom of bad planning in respect of decentralisation to County Meath. I respect the staff of the Office of Public Works, who do a very good job in the work that they do. I will mention another example. The former Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Ó Cuív, agreed that the Department should be relocated to Knock Airport. Planning went ahead and was agreed. An objection was made by An Bord Pleanála but it was knocked. Knock, knock. As a sort of medium-term solution, the Minister transferred the staff in question to Tubbercurry, in a warehouse that is unsuitable according to today's standards. It then agreed that they should go to Charlestown.
