My Department is required to relocate a minimum of 250 posts to Carlow under the Government's Decentralisation Programme and this is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009. In order to accommodate staff who wished to move earlier than the projected building completion date of late 2009, officials of my Department, in consultation with the Department of Finance and the OPW, as well as decentralising staff and Business Units, opened an advance office in Carlow on July 30 2007. The number of staff in this decentralised advance office is 99. As well as the 99 posts already decentralised to Carlow, my Department has 189 posts in Business Units due to decentralise in the substantive move to Carlow scheduled for 2009.
