I am pleased to state that the Road Transport Operator Licensing Section of my Department, involving a total of 10 staff, decentralised to Loughrea in July 2007.
The status and costs of property are matters for the Office of Public Works. The property was occupied on schedule in July, 2007.

The National Roads Authority was not identified by the Decentralisation Implementation Group as an early mover. The NRA has reported that very few staff have expressed an interest in moving to the decentralised location. 90 posts are required to decentralise to Ballinasloe with the NRA.

The Railway Safety Commission was not identified by the Decentralisation Implementation Group as an early mover. The RSC has reported that very few staff have expressed an interest in moving to the decentralised location. Some 20 posts are required to decentralise to Ballinasloe with the RSC.
