While the OPW does not currently operate a formal, internal transfer scheme for State Industrial employees, a small number of requests are accommodated from time to time, principally on compassionate grounds. One such transfer, from Kerry to Dublin, was facilitated in 2012. There is no formal scheme of interdepartmental transfer for State Industrial staff.
