Under the decentralisation programme both the Public Appointments Service and the Valuation Office will transfer 100 posts each to Youghal. The current status with both of these agencies is that arrangements for decentralisation are proceeding in accordance with their implementation plans which have been prepared and submitted by each of the agencies to the Decentralisation Implementation Group.

To date, no staff have been decentralised by the Public Appointments Service, or the Valuation Office. However ten (10) staff in the Public Appointment Service and eleven (11) staff in the Valuation Office are currently in posts in Dublin awaiting a transfer to Youghal. The Public Appointment Service and the Valuation Office are due to relocate to Youghal in 2009.
