Written Answers. - Decentralisation Programme Costs.

Ivor Callely

Question:

17 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will give a breakdown of the total cost involved to date for his Department under the Government's current programme of decentralisation; if he will clarify the costs and relevant payments to personnel with regard to the relocation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Cowen)

My Department has not been included under the Government's current programme of decentralisation and has, therefore, incurred no costs in the matter. I am, however, at present reviewing the situation in the Department to identify any areas that might be suitable for inclusion in the programme.
