Last month, the Decentralisation Implementation Group (DIG) in its report to the Minister for Finance included an updated schedule from the Office of Public Works (OPW) of the likely availability of accommodation for the decentralisation programme. The schedule reiterated the indicative dates that construction of the laboratories in Macroom should start by the end of 2007 and be completed by early 2009. The OPW are actively seeking a site for the facility and my Department is in ongoing contact with them in this regard.
There have been 82 applications to the Central Applications Facility (CAF) for relocation to Macroom.
