During the period October 2006 to date, 42 staff working in the Corporate Services and Finance functions of my Department have relocated to Cavan as part of the Government's Decentralisation Programme. Due to the staggered nature of the staff moves to Cavan, it has not been possible to compile the overtime and mileage costs in the time available. I will provide this financial information to the Deputy as soon as it is finalised.
