My Department wrote to the Department of Finance requesting agreement to placing the obligation to transfer the 200 posts on CIE rather than Bus Éireann. On the 27th May a decision was made agreeing to this and conveyed to CIE management in early June. CIE has been asked to devise an implementation plan in respect of these posts. To-date no further meetings have been held with the Decentralisation Implementation Group regarding decentralisation to Mitchelstown.
