Ceist:130 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Finance the special consideration, if any, Donegal will receive for decentralised Departments in view of the difficulties in attracting foreign investment to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26395/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 129 and 130 together.
As I indicated in my Budget Statement, the Government intends to proceed with a new and radical round of decentralisation which will see the maximum possible number of public service jobs transferred from Dublin. No decisions have yet been taken about the specific locations which will be included in the new round. However, I have noted the case made by the Deputy for the inclusion of County Donegal in the new round.
