From a total of 140 Departmental staff due to decentralise to Charlestown, Co. Mayo, 101 staff have now relocated to interim accommodation in Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo. In the period 3 July 2008 to date, 3 staff members took up duty in Tubbercurry and €83,060 was incurred in respect of equipping and fitting-out of premises at that location. No properties were purchased by OPW in that period on behalf of my Department. My Department had already fulfilled its commitment to relocate 10 posts to Na Forbacha, Co. Galway, prior to 3 July 2008.
