The property element of the Government's Decentralisation Programme, including the acquisition of sites and associated costs and the disposal of State property is a matter for the Office of Public Works (OPW). I have no function in this matter.

Twenty-seven staff members have formally signed up to decentralise to Cavan. Of that number, five are of senior rank (Assistant Principal and above).
