Under the Government decentralisation programme announced as part of budget 2004, 1,300 staff of the Department and its agencies are required to relocate to seven provincial locations, namely, Drogheda, Buncrana, Donegal, Carrick-on-Shannon, Sligo, Carrickmacross and Monaghan. The Department has prepared outline plans for the movement of posts and sections under the programme. The programme will commence with the decentralisation of a number of sections to Sligo and arrangements are currently being made for the relocation of one business area, with 15 posts, to Sligo in early July.
