In 2006, a total of €246 was paid to the training officers in the departmental training unit of my Department in respect of travel and subsistence allowances and a total of €884 has been paid to date in 2007. The number of departmental training days organised in 2006 was 950 approximately. All participation in training is managed taking full account of work needs and the duration and venue of individual programmes. The relocation of the Civil Service Training and Development Centre to Tullamore has had no discernible impact on the work of the departmental training officers or on the work of those officers who attend courses there.
