I welcome the fact that this debate is taking place. It is necessary that we have a report and an update. We must give reassurances that the system being put in place by the Government will work. People applying for these moves and those in fear of being forced to move must be reassured that the necessary support mechanisms to help them make decisions that affect their careers and families will be such that they can decide in a confident manner. We have to look at the overriding principle, which is to decentralise from the Dublin area. That is a welcome decision.
