As part of the Decentralisation Programme announced by Government in Budget 2004, it is proposed to decentralise the headquarters of my Department to Charlestown (Knock Airport initially), Co. Mayo. This will involve the location of the Secretary General and senior officials in the decentralised offices. It is anticipated that, like all Departments with headquarters outside of Dublin, my Department will have access to office facilities close to the Houses of the Oireachtas, so that business can be conducted in Dublin, as required, such as when the Oireachtas is in session, etc.
