To the end of September, 329 civil servants have been assigned to posts in my Department under the decentralisation programme. Some 250 have already transferred to my Department's offices in Portlaoise. 180 of the 250 were Dublin-based and 70 were from other locations. Almost 50% of the assignments were as a result of applications to the Central Applications Facility, some internal but the majority from other Departments. 28% of assignments were on promotion. The remainder consists of officers who are either in the post or who requested a transfer internally.
