A total of 91 officers have been assigned to posts in my Department that have relocated under the programme of decentralisation. Of this number 16 officers had been assigned to the decentralised posts with which they relocated for a period of greater than 2 years prior to the relocation of the post.
Seventy five (75) of the 91 officers transferred from other civil service posts in order to be assigned to the decentralised posts. Fifty six (56) of these transferees were originally based in Dublin and 19 were originally based outside Dublin. The remaining 16 officers assigned to these relocated posts were relatively recent recruits.
A total of 82 officers have transferred out of my Department to decentralise with other organisations — 52 of these officers were based in my Department's offices outside of Dublin and 30 were based in the Dublin office of my Department prior to transferring.
