Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 October 2004
392 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Transport the number of employees of the National Roads Authority which has signalled its intention to decentralise to Ballinasloe; the number who have been allocated to decentralise; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23247/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe central applications facility has received one application for a decentralised position at Ballinasloe from an employee of the National Roads Authority. Some 89 posts from the National Roads Authority have been allocated for decentralisation to Ballinasloe. There has been a general reluctance on the part of State agency employees to use the CAF and this may well have influenced the National Roads Authority position. The Department of Finance is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations with unions and staff associations representing State agency employees.
