206 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Finance his views on decentralisation of Departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4218/02]
It remains my intention that the Government will proceed with a new programme of decentralisation and the Government is continuing to evaluate the many issues associated with such a programme. In view of my determination that decisions in relation to a new programme should be taken only after proper deliberation, I am not yet in a position to say when I expect such decisions to be taken.
