The number of civil servants who have relocated to date to my Department's temporary premises in Fossa, Killarney, under the Government's decentralisation programme stands at 70.

A further 61 posts are scheduled to be decentralised on completion of my Department's permanent headquarters in Killarney towards the end of 2008.

No public servants have transferred, nor are any scheduled to transfer, to my Department's decentralised location in Killarney.
