Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

The Department of Defence is moving to Newbridge, County Kildare, under the decentralisation programme. All of the Department's Dublin based Civil Service staff will relocate to Newbridge. The Chief of Staff, the deputy chiefs of staff and a number of other military personnel will also relocate. Relocation of staff to the new building has commenced and will be completed by 8 November 2010. This accounts for the fact that I have some difficulty gathering information related to parliamentary questions. Much of the key information is in crates that are on their way to Newbridge. I am sure they will all be found safely for the next Question Time on defence.
