The position in regard to decentralisation proposals is as stated in the decentralisation implementation group report to the Minister for Finance of 19 November 2004. Claremorris was not included by the decentralisation implementation group in the initial phases of moves. The November report indicates that the group had regard to figures emerging from the Central Applications Facility and relevant property and business issues. The group stated that it would report in the spring of 2005 in relation to locations not covered in its November 2004 report. No personnel have as yet been relocated to Claremorris. The proposed number of staff to be decentralised to Claremorris is 150.
