Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 January 2010
781 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if a release date has been sought for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo to enable the person’s request for a lateral transfer to proceed; if so, when the release date was sought; and when they can expect the transfer to proceed. [1876/10]
View answerThe position has not changed since I responded to the Deputy in relation to this matter on 8th December last. At that time, I informed the Deputy that the person concerned is currently serving in the Sligo office of the Department.
Staffing of the Department's offices is kept under ongoing review to ensure that adequate resources are deployed as necessary. The business requirements of the Sligo office are such that the Department is not in a position to facilitate the transfer of the person concerned.
