Seán Ó Fearghaíl

Question:

52 Mr. Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Defence the number of applications his Department has received from persons who have expressed a wish to transfer to County Kildare. [31707/03]

As the Deputy will be aware, the Government decision on decentralisation announced by the Minister for Finance in his recent budget statement provides for the transfer of all my Department's Dublin based civil service staff, numbering some 200 personnel in all grades up to and including Secretary General, to Newbridge, County Kildare. I am aware that over 38 civil servants have indicated an interest in transferring to Newbridge. There are currently 37 clerical officers and two executive officers on a transfer list for the Curragh, County Kildare.
