Question 60: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the number of posts decentralised to date as part of his Department's decentralisation programme; the location of the decentralised posts in each case; the corresponding number of posts that have been reduced from his Department's Dublin offices to date; and the overall net loss or gain in terms of post numbers as a result of the decentralisation of these posts.

My Department has decentralised one hundred and seventeen (117) posts to its new offices in Tullamore, County Offaly and arrangements are being made for a further sixteen (16) posts to be filled. One hundred and fifteen (115) posts have been reduced in my Dublin offices. The overall net gain in terms of post numbers as a result of decentralisation to Tullamore is two (2), but this will be subject to a review.

However, my Department continues to keep its establishment within its overall numbers limits, which have not been altered as a result of decentralisation.
