I propose to take Questions Nos. 314 and 315 together.

Some 35 civil servants from the Department of Transport have relocated to new Departments and are due to move out of Dublin under the Government's decentralisation programme. The transfer of these staff to their decentralisation location is a matter for the new parent Departments. In addition, 6 staff have already relocated to their decentralised location in Loughrea as either Department of Transport or Road Safety Authority staff. In addition to the above 41 posts, a further 39 officers in the Department of Transport are awaiting relocation and it is expected that 4 of these will relocate before the end of 2007. All staff that have already relocated or are awaiting relocation are from Dublin locations. No public servants have been relocated by this Department.
