All Dublin-based operations of my Department are to be decentralised, with the exception of ENFO, the Private Rented Tenancies Board, Met Éireann and a co-ordination section, which it is proposed to retain in Dublin to manage the Department's Dáil and other Dublin business. Staff of my Department are based in various locations in Dublin, including the headquarters of the Department in the Custom House, Irish Life Building and Met Éireann, Glasnevin which are all located on the north side.

The Government's decentralisation programme involves the relocation of my Department's Dublin-based operations to four locations, Wexford, Waterford, New Ross and Kilkenny.

The indicative time scales for the completion of office accommodation in each location are as follows.

Location Completion Date
Wexford Quarter 3, 2007
Kilkenny End 2008
New Ross Early 2009
Waterford Mid 2009
