​As individuals may apply direct to the Departments or State agency offices located outside the Dublin region that they wish to transfer to without the knowledge of their parent Department, my Department does not have the information requested by the Deputy. Such information will be available upon the introduction of the Civil Service Wide Mobility Scheme planned for later this year.Four staff from my Department transferred out of the Dublin region in the period in question – see table below.  In each case the staff transferred to offices within my Department.

There are no costs incurred for staff transferring outside of the Dublin region.
