Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

My Department is not one of the Departments earmarked for decentralisation under Civil Service Decentralisation Programme. The General Register Office, currently located at Government Offices, Convent Road, Roscommon is the only section of my Department located outside of Dublin following an earlier decentralisation programme.
