Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 December 2007
215 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Transport the number to date of civil servants and employees of State bodies transferred from Dublin to decentralised locations; the number transferred from outside of Dublin to other decentralised locations; and the number transferred in post to decentralising Departments in Dublin pending planned decentralisation to locations outside of Dublin. [36033/07]
View answerTo-date 36 civil servants from the Department of Transport have relocated to new Departments and are due to move out of Dublin under the Government's decentralisation programme. The transfer of these staff to their decentralisation location is a matter for the new parent Department. No employees of State bodies have been relocated by this Department.
In addition, 6 staff from this Department have already relocated to their decentralised location in Loughrea as either Department of Transport staff or Road Safety Authority staff. Of these 6 posts 2 staff members transferred with their posts and are already in place in Loughrea.
All staff that have already relocated or are awaiting relocation are from Dublin.
