Question 680: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of staff who have transferred to his Department under the decentralisation CAF or DCAF schemes and who have found that they must make a further move to another section within six months of their Departmental transfer; the effect such moves have on staff morale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer to the reply to Question No. 562 of 20 February 2007. To date 124 people have transferred to or joined my Department to decentralise to Wexford, Waterford, New Ross and Kilkenny. Of this group, three staff members were assigned different work duties within 6 months of joining the Department. Such reassignments are commonplace in an organisation as large and diverse as my Department and would not be expected to have any implications for staff morale.
