Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
147. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Taoiseach the number of staff under the remit of his Department who have applied to be transferred to Department or State agency offices located outside the Dublin region in each of the years 2014 to 2016 and to date in 2017, in tabular form; the estimated average cost incurred for each staff member that relocated outside the Dublin region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29045/17]
View answerMy Department fully supports staff mobility and routinely circulates secondment/transfer opportunities to all Departmental staff, including those opportunities issued by the Civil Service HR Directorate in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. If a staff member is interested in availing of a mobility opportunity, my Department makes every effort to facilitate same. In general, no costs arise for my Department when an individual staff member avails of a mobility opportunity.
