The total expenditure incurred by my Department in relation to non-property costs under the decentralisation programme for each of the last four years is set out in the following table. This covers training, travel and subsistence, and costs associated with the establishment and ongoing maintenance of an advance office in Wexford since June 2007. No specific current expenditure has been incurred in relation to the Department's other three locations under the decentralisation programme — Kilkenny, New Ross and Waterford.
