The Government announcement on 14 October 2008 confirmed that the decentralisation of my Department's Headquarters to Wexford (270 posts) will proceed as planned. However, the transfer of posts to the three other locations in the South East – Waterford (225 posts), New Ross (125 posts) and Kilkenny (62 posts) - is being deferred pending the outcome of a review in 2011. My Department's Headquarter offices in Wexford are expected to be completed by mid year with the transfer of staff taking place on a phased basis immediately thereafter.
