Under the decentralisation programme there are 90 posts in the National Roads Authority, NRA, and 20 posts in the Railway Safety Commission, which are due to decentralise to Ballinasloe. Implementation issues, including the identification of accommodation, are being pursued by the agencies themselves. The following table shows the number of applications received for each agency.

The NRA and the RSC have not been identified by the decentralisation implementation group as early movers.
