Although I am glad to see that some offices are located outside Dublin, I firmly believe a piecemeal approach to decentralisation will not work. Moving small units will never make a real impact. We must be prepared to think big if we want to achieve real results and use decentralisation as a way of revitalising and rejuvenating whole towns and communities. It makes good human resource and economic sense to decentralise larger sections of Departments to towns and cities. For example, a section of the Department of Social and Family Affairs is located in Sligo. It would be logical, therefore, to move further sections to the same area or nearby, which would give equitable opportunities for promotion and training.
