I propose to take Questions Nos. 248 and 249 together.

Under the current programme of decentralisation, 85 posts in the Department are to be relocated to Carrickmacross and in excess of 90 applications have been received to date to move there.

The Office of Public Works is charged with securing accommodation in Carrickmacross for this Department. They have advised that they are still exploring a number of options including one which involves Monaghan County Council.
