I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that as part of the overall decentralisation programme it is intended to move approximately one hundred (100) staff to Navan. To date, seventy-nine (79) staff based in Dublin have accepted offers. It is expected that Revenue will be a position to move to Navan in the first quarter of 2008. I am informed by the Office of Public Works that it is intended to move three hundred and thirty (330) of its headquarter staff to Trim under the decentralisation programme. The building for the OPW staff is due for completion in the first quarter of 2009. No OPW staff are due to relocate to Trim between now and the end of 2007.
