The timetable for my Department's decentralisation programme has been published in the most recent Report from the Decentralisation Implementation Group to the Minister for Finance, dated 30 June 2005. The programme runs from 2004 to 2009.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Private Security Authority has been up and running in Tipperary Town since October, 2004. A further 186 posts from the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) are also scheduled to move in 2008 and a site for this office in the town has been identified. The Office of Public Works have informed me that the contracts are now in place and it is expected that the sale of the site will close shortly.
