The relocation of 100 posts in my Department to Athlone will commence when the new office accommodation in Athlone is ready for occupation. This accommodation is under construction at present. The Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the procurement of office accommodation under the programme of decentralisation, has indicated that the new accommodation in Athlone will be ready for occupation next year.
