Vol. 469 No. 3
202 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the number of jobs from his Department which were decentralised in each of the past 15 years on a county basis; and the location to which the jobs were transferred on a county basis. [17447/96]
Since my Department was set up on 20 January 1993, no staff have been decentralised from it to any provincial location. However, the Government has decided that the Patents Office will decentralise to Kilkenny city and work on the construction of the building there is in progress. The number of staff intended to be moved is approximately 80.
