Under the decentralisation programme announced by the Minister for Finance on 3 December 2003, my Department has, to date, relocated 111 posts (118 people) to Carrick-on-Shannon and 66 posts (67 people) to Sligo. Given the number of posts involved and the fact that they have been relocated at various stages since mid 2006, the information concerning overtime and mileage costs is not readily available. As soon as the relevant data has been compiled it will be provided to the Deputy.
