As part of the Government's decentralisation programme, the headquarters of my Department is scheduled to relocate to Cavan at the end of 2009. An advance party of 45 is currently in situ in Cavan of which 40 were Dublin based and five were non-Dublin based. Current plans envisage this figure being augmented by approximately a further nine staff in 2008, the majority of whom will be relocating from Dublin based departments.
