To date, my Department has decentralised a total of 112 posts from Dublin to Loughrea and Ballina. As part of the establishment of the Road Safety Authority, which included the transfer of some 295 posts from my Department to the new agency, 40 posts have decentralised to Loughrea and 62 posts have decentralised to Ballina. A further 10 posts that remain part of my Department's complement have also been transferred to Loughrea.
