The sea fisheries and certain other marine-related functions of the Department are due to decentralise to Clonakilty. The remaining areas of the Department currently in Dublin are due to relocate to Cavan.

Certain agencies or bodies under the aegis of my Department are also due to decentralise. Bord Iascaigh Mhara is due to move to Clonakilty, the Central Fisheries Board is relocating to Carrick-on-Shannon, and Sustainable Energy Ireland is decentralising to Dundalk.

The table provides the latest available data on the number of posts decentralising with the relevant organisations, the number of existing staff who have committed to decentralise with their parent organisation, and the number of existing staff who have opted to decentralise with their parent organisation who have already been assigned to decentralising posts.
