In my last reply to the Deputy I indicated that the new building on my Department's existing campus in Athlone would accommodate approximately 100 posts already based in Athlone that are currently accommodated in a temporary building, along with the posts to be decentralised to Athlone.

The process of transferring the 100 posts located in the temporary building in Athlone is underway at present. When this process is complete the decentralising posts will be transferred. On the basis of the progress made to date the process of transferring all of the posts to be accommodated in the new building could be complete by late May/early June.
