214 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the position on the transfer of his Department to Athy; the timescale involved; the number of staff transferring; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22658/07]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Office of Public Works are currently assessing a number of possibilities for a permanent accommodation solution for the Revenue staff, who will be decentralised to Athy. In all it is intended to decentralise 250 Revenue staff to Athy.
The Office of Public Works have also completed negotiations for the provision of premises to accommodate an advance party of up to 80 staff. Fitting out of these premises is nearing completion and Revenue expect to be in a position to occupy the premises towards the end of November 2007.
