As I stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 52 dated 1 February 2005 and Parliamentary Question No. 69 dated 3 March 2005, all organisations that are decentralising, including Ordnance Survey Ireland, OSI, have prepared and submitted an implementation plan as requested by the decentralisation implementation group, DIG. This plan included detailed material on all issues to be addressed in terms of people, property and business planning and will be further developed as additional information emerges. The plan also incorporates specific risk assessment and mitigation strategies. The plan was circulated to all staff and has been placed on the OSI Intranet.
In November, the DIG published its list of "early movers" and this list, which was accepted by Government, does not include Ordnance Survey Ireland, OSI. It is expected that a further report will issue from the DIG dealing with all remaining locations, including Dungarvan.
Question No. 129 answered with QuestionNo. 91.
