The Deputy will be aware that I discussed this matter at the meeting with the local Oireachtas Members and Councillors from the Ballybay - Clones Municipal District on Wednesday 5th October 2016. It is not proposed to open an Intreo Centre or government building in Ballybay, or to relocate one of the Department’s agencies there. I continue, however, to be fully supportive of any initiatives that will boost employment opportunities - be they from public or private sector – for people in the Ballybay area in the future.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
