Following is the information requested by the Deputy.
Organisation | Posts to decentralise | No. moved | Assigned but not moved | New recruits | Staying in Dublin and reassigned |
Pobal | 40 | 25 | 0 | 24 | 0 |
Foras na Gaeilge | 30 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Pobal have filled 25 posts in Clifden, Co. Galway. The posts concerned were in respect of new business and all posts, except 1, were filled by way of local recruitment. The remaining 15 positions due to relocate to Clifden will be filled, again by local recruitment, when a permanent building is in place. This is expected in late 2009. In relation to Foras na Gaeilge, 5 posts have been identified as an initial decentralisation tranche from within the overall complement of 30 posts to be relocated in Gaoth Dobhair. It is hoped that the necessary approvals can be processed so that these 5 posts will be filled in the course of 2008. It is expected that posts will be filled mainly by new recruits.
