I refer the Deputy to my answer to PQ, Reference No. 6696/07. To date 18 officers have transferred out of my Department under the decentralisation programme. None of these staff had a previous transfer within a two year period of the decentralisation transfer and none transferred from a non-Dublin office to a Dublin office in the initial transfer. The matter of staff being held in Dublin pending their move to decentralised locations is a matter for the Departments to which they transferred.
