Negotiations for the purchase of a site by the Office of Public Works for the Department's headquarters at the location referred to by the Deputy are at an advanced stage. It is estimated that the new headquarters will be ready by end-2010.

In the meantime, 90 of the 140 staff of my Department originally due to relocate to Co Mayo have transferred to an interim location in Tubbercurry, Co Sligo. It is planned to increase the number at the interim location to just over 100 from mid- May 2008.
