Under the Government's decentralisation programme, all of my Department's Dublin based headquarters staff, including IT staff, (1310 posts in all as well as 47 from citizen information board and 25 from the Combat Poverty Agency) are due to move to locations outside Dublin.

Currently the staff are accommodated in the following locations in the Dublin area.

1.Áras Mhic Dhiarmada, Store Street, Dublin 1.

2.Gandon House, Amiens Street, Dublin 1

3.16 Parnell Square, Dublin 1.

4.Landen House, Townsend Street, Dublin 2

5.Oisín House, Pearse Street, Dublin 2.

6.Goldsmith House, Pearse Street, Dublin 2.

7.Con Colbert House, Kilmainham, Dublin 8.

8.Hume House (citizen information board), Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

9.Bridgewater Centre (Combat Poverty Agency), Islandbridge, Dublin 8.

The question of disposal of any property following decentralisation is a matter for the Office of Public Works and in the case of citizen information board and the Combat Poverty Agency, for the agencies themselves.
