Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 October 2004
211 Mr. Murphy asked the Minister for Finance the position regarding decentralisation to Kanturk, County Cork; the number of positions which will be available; the number of persons who have applied to be transferred to Kanturk, County Cork; and if an employee of the Southern Health Board fits under public service status. [26693/04]
View answerUnder the decentralisation programme the Office of Public Works is to re-locate 100 posts to Kanturk, County Cork. The data from the central applications facility, CAF, operated by the Civil Service Commission, published last month showed that a total of 85 persons have applied for decentralising to Kanturk as their first choice. The Southern Health Board is not a participating organisation in the CAF and therefore its staff cannot apply.
