I can confirm to the Deputy that the Mullingar element of the decentralisation of my Department's Headquarters, which involves approximately 300 posts, will take place when new permanent accommodation is ready for occupation. Full planning permission for this development was received in July 2008. In June 2008, my Department utilised existing available accommodation in its Regional Office in Mullingar to decentralise a section comprising seven posts from Dublin to that location.
