Under the decentralisation programme, 50 transport posts are due to transfer to Loughrea. These comprised posts in my Department and in the National Safety Council. Many of these will now be in the Road Safety Authority and revised implementation plans are being prepared on this basis. Much of the detail of our original implementation plan will therefore be reviewed in light of the establishment of the Road Safety Authority. Costs associated with the decentralisation programme will therefore also fall to be reviewed.
