Details of the costs incurred to date in relation to decentralisation by my Department are set out in the following table. These cover training, travel and subsistence, and costs (IT facilities and office administration) associated with the establishment of an advance office in Wexford in June 2007. The Local Government Computer Services Board and the National Building Agency who are under the aegis of my Department are both due to decentralise. I understand that neither of these bodies has incurred any specific costs to date in relation to decentralisation.
