29 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Finance the number of posts in the Ordnance Survey which are proposed for decentralisation indicating the number with specialist technical qualifications; and the key issues which are being evaluated in the risk assessment process. [12930/04]
View answerAs I stated in my reply to Question No. 241 of 4 February 2004, there are approximately 200 posts in Ordnance Survey Ireland, OSI, which are to decentralise to Dungarvan. In accordance with the recommendations of the decentralisation implementation group the OSI is preparing a decentralisation implementation plan, including risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Currently, the organisation is assessing all of its posts with a view to determining their specialist nature, having regard to the business continuity requirements of the organisation.
