Under the Government's decentralisation programme for the civil and public service, the HQ sections of the Department of Social and Family Affairs and the social welfare appeals office are scheduled to relocate to six locations — Sligo, Carrick-on-Shannon, Donegal, Buncrana, Carrickmacross and Drogheda. The Combat Poverty Agency and Comhairle, which operate under the aegis of the Department, are scheduled to relocate to Monaghan and Drogheda, respectively, under the programme. The information listed below is based on applications from departmental staff recorded on the Central Applications Facility for each of the locations. The facility will remain open for new applications until the full decentralisation programme is complete.
