The decentralisation implementation group published its report to the Minister for Finance on the selection of organisations and locations for inclusion in the first phase of moves in the Government's decentralisation programme in November 2004. In this report the DIG recommended 15 locations which are to receive initial priority attention in terms of staff transfers and property procurement and which are to be included in the first phase of moves. Department of Agriculture and Food locations in Cork were not included in this list. The DIG will report again in the spring of 2005 and will deal with the locations not covered in the current report.
