The Athlone element of the decentralisation of my Department will be completed in the summer of this year. The completion of this element of the programme will result in the relocation of 92 posts to Athlone. The Mullingar element of the decentralisation of my Department will take place when new permanent accommodation is ready for occupation. This is likely to be sometime in 2010 and will involve in region of 300 posts. Seven (7) posts will move to Mullingar this year. To date 123 people have transferred out of my Department under the programme of decentralisation. Since 1 January 2008 five people from my Department have transferred out of Dublin under the programme of decentralisation.
