Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

Staff in the Department have been surveyed to establish the numbers wishing to decentralise to new locations. The results of the survey are being compiled at the moment and I will write to Deputy Rabbitte giving a breakdown and analysis of the survey results.
