Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 November 2008
339 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Transport the amount the process of decentralisation has cost the taxpayer to date excluding the cost of all sites or buildings acquired; and the cost for each individual location. [40160/08]
View answerThe non-property costs to date incurred by my Department in connection with the move of the Road Safety Authority and my Department's Road Haulage functions to Loughrea amounted to €84,191. While decentralisation of an additional 62 Road Safety Authority posts (which were not part of the original government decision) to Ballina was also achieved, the costs involved were been borne by the Authority itself.
