34 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Finance when he expects the 2011 overall review of the decentralisation programme to be completed; the progress made to date in the deferred decentralisation projects to Fermoy, Mallow and Youghal, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI expect the review of the decentralisation programme to be completed before the end of 2011.
The decentralisation projects to Fermoy, Mallow and Youghal, County Cork are comprehended by the deferral by the Government of decisions on the timing of the implementation of the balance of the programme pending the review in 2011. To date, no sites have been acquired to provide permanent accommodation for decentralising Offices at those locations nor have advance parties been put in place by the Departments and agencies concerned.
