I understand from the Office of Public Works that no properties have been purchased since 3 July, 2008. In terms of non- property costs, €25,749 has been spent by my Department on the decentralisation programme since July 2008. Since 3 July, 2008, a further 17 posts have been decentralised to Athlone. I can confirm to the Deputy that at this stage my Department has completed the process of decentralising all sections due to relocate to Athlone.
