Written answers

The number of civil servants working in Dublin as at June 2003, the latest information available was 18,338. A breakdown of these staff by Department-office is set out below. It is not possible to accurately provide a further breakdown between staff attached to the headquarters of organisations and those serving a Dublin customer base. The central applications facility which will receive applications from civil and public servants to participate in the Government's decentralisation programme will not commence operation until next week and therefore it is not possible to state how many Dublin based civil servants will apply to move with their job to each of the decentralised locations.
