20 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Finance the sections of Government Departments that have already been relocated outside of Dublin to date; and the extent to which the workers transferred were the original workers attached to each Department concerned. [8980/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraSections of both the Revenue Commissioners and the Office of Public Works have decentralised offices. I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the numbers of posts that were initially relocated outside of Dublin under the previous decentralisation programmes to other locations are estimated as follows:
|
Staff |
|
|
Nenagh |
215 |
|
Ennis |
152 |
|
Limerick |
550 |
|
Dundalk |
86 |
|
Rosslare |
47 |
The estimated percentage of those staff already serving in Revenue prior to decentralisation were as follows:
|
% |
|
|
Nenagh |
30 |
|
Ennis |
51 |
|
Limerick |
31 |
|
Dundalk |
90 |
|
Rosslare |
98 |
The accounts branch of the Office of Public Works decentralised to Kilkenny in 1997. I am informed by the OPW that of the 27 posts involved, five were filled by staff who had already been with the OPW prior to the announcement of decentralisation.
