The report of the decentralisation implementation group entitled "Selection of organisations/locations for inclusion in the first phase of moves" was published on 24 November 2004. It included details of those organisations and locations to be included in the first phase of moves together with details of the criteria used by the group to select those locations. Roscrea is not among those locations. The contents of the group's report can be accessed at www.finance.gov.ie. The decentralisation implementation group will report again in spring 2005 on the organisations and locations not covered in the report.
On Thurles, the decentralisation implementation group notes in paragraph 3.2 of its report that a total of 200 jobs, comprising jobs of gardaí and civil servants, are due to be relocated to Thurles. The group recommends that the Garda Commissioner should, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, prepare an updated implementation plan by 14 February 2005, including an implementation schedule with a phased timeline.
