I am assuming the Deputy's question relates to those staff who had indicated a wish to relocate to Cavan but who are unable to do so at present as a result of the recent Government Decision to suspend the relocation of my Department's headquarters to Cavan, pending a formal review in 2011.

There are approximately 10 staff in my Department who are Dublin-based but who had applied through the CAF arrangements to transfer to Cavan. The long-term status of these staff and persons in a similar situation in other departments is the subject of ongoing discussions between the Department of Finance and the various staff associations through the formal industrial relations structures in the Civil Service. My Department's HR Division is keeping affected staff informed of developments.
