My Department does not currently have any non-national staff as described by the Deputy. As the headquarters of my Department is decentralising in full to Newbridge, Co. Kildare, and that location is oversubscribed with applicants on the Central Applications Facility (CAF), recruitment in recent years has been limited to existing civil service staff from the CAF who applied to relocate to Newbridge.
