Vol. 506 No. 2
320 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs if a person (details supplied) will be granted a transfer to Sligo in view of the fact that she has a young child; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14838/99]
The person referred to in the Deputy's question was assigned by the Civil Service Commission for the Dublin offices of my Department and took up appointment on 4 May 1999.
There is a central transfer system agreed with the staff union and the Department of Finance which enables, inter alia, clerical staff to transfer from Dublin to provincial locations. The person referred to applied under these arrangements to have her interest in transferring to Sligo noted. There are a number of officers ahead of her on this list who, in accordance with agreed procedures, would have to be considered for transfer ahead of her.
