Question 252: To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide, in tabular form, the number of civil servants awaiting transfer to locations within the Laois-Offaly area, including Roscrea; if these transfers are affected by the moratorium on recruitment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Records available to my Department indicate that we have one member of staff awaiting transfer within the Laois/Offaly area. The moratorium on recruitment does not allow Departments to fill posts by recruitment or promotion but does not prevent the filling of posts by lateral transfers within Departments, or between different Departments, where this can be arranged.
