Very good progress is being made in relation to decentralisation of transport functions to Loughrea. I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to Question No. 128 answered on Wednesday, 1 February 2006, where I set out the position in full.

Under the decentralisation programme, 90 posts in the National Roads Authority are due to transfer to Ballinasloe. Seven public servants and 59 civil servants have applied on the central applications facility to decentralise. The National Roads Authority has not been identified as an early mover by the decentralisation implementation group. Implementation issues, including the identification of accommodation, are being pursued by the authority.
