The Government is committed to moving forward the progressive decentralisation of Government offices and agencies. As I have said on many occasions, there is a wide range of important issues that must be taken into consideration, including development for the Border region within the national spatial strategy 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 the issue of decentralisation. However, all of the numerous submissions and cases made to my Department, including that received from and on behalf of Cavan, will be given full consideration in these deliberations.
