Ceist:139 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Finance the proposals, if any, he has to decentralise part of his Department to the Waterford constituency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16382/00]
Written Answers. - Decentralisation Programme.
The Government has, of yet, taken no decision in relation to a new programme of decentralisation. I am currently engaged in a series of discussions with other Ministers with a view to the Government being a position to take decisions in relation to the new programme by the end of July. Until such time as the Government has had an opportunity to consider the matter fully, it would be premature of me to comment on the likelihood of any particular centre being included in the new programme.
