: Under the Government decentralisation programme announced as part of budget 2004, my Department and its agencies are required to relocate to seven provincial locations, i.e., Drogheda, Buncrana, Donegal, Carrick-on-Shannon, Sligo, Monaghan and Carrickmacross.

At present, my Department has decentralised offices in Sligo, Letterkenny, Longford, Waterford and Dundalk. There are no plans to move any of the sections in these locations.
