Under the Government's decentralisation programme, four sections or agencies under the aegis of my Department will transfer from their current location on the north side of Dublin to provincial locations. The details and timescales in relation to these moves are published in the decentralisation implementation group's progress report to the Minister for Finance dated 30 June 2005. The table below gives details of those sections or agencies, the current locations and their new locations under the decentralisation programme to which at least a part of their operations will be moving. In the case of each of the four organisations a sufficient presence will continue to be maintained in Dublin.
Section/Agency | Current Location | Decentralised Location |
Garda Síochána Headquarters (Part) | Phoenix Park, Dublin. | Thurles |
Garda Síochána Complaints Board | Irish Life Centre, Dublin 1. | * Roscrea |
Land Registry (Part) | Chancery St, Dublin 7. | Roscommon |
Probation and Welfare Service (HQ Staff) | Smithfield, Dublin 7. | Navan |
* This body is being subsumed into the new Garda Ombudsman Commission which will continue to maintain a significant presence in Dublin. Circa 20 staff will still be moving to Roscrea to establish a regional headquarters for the Ombudsman Commission. |
