As part of the Government's decentralisation programme, the headquarters of my Department is scheduled to relocate to Cavan at the end of 2010. This will involve the relocation of approximately 300 posts. Two staff members have transferred to Cavan since 1st January 2008 bringing the total working there to 47. Current plans envisage that this figure will be increased by up to ten more staff by the middle of the year.
