Billy Timmins

Question:

375 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Transport the number of personnel who on applying for promotion in his Department since January 2004, have been required to sign an agreement that they are willing to decentralise; how many of them refused to sign the agreement; if this impacted on their promotion or otherwise; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4073/05]

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

As there have been no promotions in my Department since January 2004 that would have necessitated the signing of such an agreement, this issue does not arise.
