Ceist:

99 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment the offices under the control of his Department which have been relocated from Dublin under the decentralisation programme since the year 1987; the locations of the new offices; the number of jobs transferred; and the further proposals, if any, he has in this regard.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. M. Smith)

A number of sections of my Department comprising 115 posts were decentralised to Ballina in 1989; the sections deal with accounts, housing grants, driver testing and group water schemes. The new Environmental Protection Agency is being located in Wexford.
