Under the Government's decentralisation programme, 230 posts in the Land Registry are scheduled to be relocated to Roscommon town. The Land Registry's implementation plan in respect of this move is available on my Department's website.

The selection process with regard to property solutions to fulfil the accommodation brief for the staff decentralising to Roscommon is progressing and the Office of Public Works is at an advanced stage of negotiations in acquiring a suitable site. The Deputy will also be aware that a significant element of the Land Registry was decentralised to Waterford some years ago.
