I propose to take Questions Nos. 412 and 413 together.

To the end of September, some 250 civil servants have transferred to my Department's offices in Portlaoise under the decentralisation programme. It is expected that 10 to 20 more will have moved by the end of 2007. 180 of the 250 were Dublin-based and 70 were from other locations.
