My Department is committed to relocating 140 posts to new headquarters at Knock Airport. OPW have indicated that the headquarters building will be in place there by mid 2008. To further the decentralisation process, 70 posts have already been assigned to temporary offices in Tubbercurry, Co Sligo, which opened in July of this year. The intention is that these posts will be relocated to Knock Airport when the new building is ready.
