117 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Finance when he will be proceeding with Phase 2 of the decentralisation programme to County Kilkenny; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
As the House will be aware, the Companies Registration Office and part of the Department of the Marine are to transfer to Kilkenny. Officials in my Department are proceeding with preparations for the transfer in consultation with the Office of Public Works and the Departments to be decentralised. It is envisaged that decentralisation to Kilkenny should be completed within two years.
