Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 January 2004
268 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport if a survey of staff to determine interest in participating in the decentralisation programme has been undertaken in his Department; when it will be completed; and if the results will be published or otherwise made available to Deputies. [2334/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my previous answer to Dáil Questions Nos. 816 and 827 answered on Tuesday, 27 January 2004.
To date, staff members in my Department have not been surveyed to ascertain the number wishing to move to a location scheduled for decentralisation.
I have established a decentralisation implementation group in my Department to manage the decentralisation process. It is chaired by an assistant secretary and includes representatives from the areas-agencies scheduled for decentralisation. The question of conducting a survey of the nature referred to above is among the issues being considered by this group.
