Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 December 2007
382 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform 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. [36030/07]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that by early January 2008, under my Department's Decentralisation programme, three hundred and sixty-eight posts from seven bodies under the aegis of my Department will have transferred to seven different locations around the country. Within that number, two hundred and twenty-three officers will have transferred from Dublin and one hundred and forty-five from provincial locations. I am also informed that there have been one hundred and ninety-three transfers of staff from my own Department to other decentralising Departments.
