The location where training is to take place for provincial based civil servants who have applied to transfer to Loughrea has not yet been finally determined. The issue of training and living expenses is currently being discussed between the Department of Finance and the staff representative bodies. My Department will formalise training proposals for such staff once the training and living expenses agreement has been received from the Department of Finance.
