Question:

160 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food his views on the decentralisation of Teagasc headquarters; if he is concerned about changes in the plan arising from the general decentralisation announced in the Minister for Finance's December 2003 budget; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4927/04]

In line with some other State bodies, Teagasc was included in the budget announcement on decentralisation as part of the overall decentralisation programme for the public service. While, as part of an overall restructuring programme, Teagasc had already decided to move its headquarters to Carlow its inclusion in the overall decentralisation programme must be seen as positive in the context of regional development.
