I am advised by both the Public Appointments Service and the Valuation Office that the number of people who have indicated their desire to decentralise to Youghal with these offices is 105 and 23 respectively. In accordance with the indicative timescale set out in a report from the Decentralisation Implementation Group both Offices are working towards decentralising to Youghal in mid 2009. I am informed by the Office of Public Works that a suitable site for the decentralised offices in Youghal has been identified and negotiations are at an advanced stage.
