Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
291 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of the positions moved and the number of these filled on promotion in respect of the most recent decentralisation undertaken by his Department; and the number of follow-on moves which were triggered by the decentralisation. [21088/04]
View answerThe last decentralisation undertaken by an area or agency of my Department was completed in 2003 when the Legal Aid Board relocated to Cahirciveen County Kerry. Following an impact assessment report, the board decided to decentralise 39 posts to Cahirciveen, seven of which were filled on promotion.
The information requested by the Deputy in respect of the number of follow-on moves which were triggered by decentralisation is not readily available and would take an inordinate amount of time to compile.
I would also refer the Deputy to the information contained in my answers to Parliamentary Question Nos. 358 to 360, inclusive, of 29 June 2004 and Parliamentary No. 298 of 7 July 2004.
