andMr. Reynolds asked the Minister for Finance what is the present position regarding the transfer of the Department of Education to Athlone; and if he can give any indication as to the date on which transfer may reasonably be expected to take place.

The Government's decision that the headquarters' work of the Department of Education be transferred to Athlone involves the building of a modern office at this centre. Work on the planning of the office was put in hands following the announcement of the Government's decision and is at present in progress. The office is expected to be completed in 1972.
