189 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Finance when he intends to make a decision on decentralisation of Departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4847/03]
The Government is committed to moving forward the progressive decentralisation of Government offices and agencies taking account of the national spatial strategy. There is a wide range of important issues which must be taken into consideration and it is not possible for me to state at this time when the Government will be in a position to take a decision on decentralisation.
