The Defence Forces headquarters decentralisation implementation group is planning for the relocation of those elements of the headquarters that will be relocated to the Curragh. Some elements of Defence Forces headquarters will also be relocated to Newbridge with my Department.
The relocation will take place in two to three years' time. A site for the headquarters has been selected and initial meetings with the Office of Public Works have taken place. In addition planning for the provision of the necessary support functions and appropriate command and control arrangements for the new headquarters is underway.
