The report that I have read, which is the most interesting one on this subject, is by our own advisory board, an independent body that advises the Department on its work. It has also expressed reservations on the decentralisation plan. My Department and officials are working very hard to ensure that there are no risks associated with the move.
There are 124 positions available for people who wish to move to Limerick. As the Deputy knows, Development Cooperation Ireland is moving to Limerick in its entirety. I only received the Flynn report at 12.30 p.m. today and have not had time to peruse it fully. My Department will be in the first wave of officials and Departments that will move under the decentralisation programme. The plan is that Development Cooperation Ireland will move to Limerick in the first quarter of 2007. It is a serious issue.
