I discussed this matter at a meeting with the local Oireachtas Members and Councillors from the Ballybay-Clones Municipal District on Wednesday 5^thOctober 2016.It is not proposed to open an Intreo Centre or Government building in Ballybay, or to relocate one of the Department’s agencies there. However, I will continue to be fully supportive of any initiatives that will boost employment opportunities – be they from public or private sector- for the people in the Ballybay area in the future.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
