I wish to inform the Deputy that I am aware of five staff who have applied through the Human Resources Unit of my Department to be transferred to locations other than their present location. There are a few ways for staff to apply for a transfer to other Departments and Offices including applying directly to the Department/Office and applying for a "Head to Head" transfer through their Union Magazine. My Department would not be aware of such applications. Three staff members have applied to transfer from the Department's Dublin Office to the Department's Tullamore Office and the remaining two staff members have applied for a transfer from the Department's Tullamore Office to the Department's Dublin Office.
