The Government decision on decentralisation in December 2003, provides for the transfer of all my Department's Dublin based Civil Service staff to Newbridge, Co. Kildare. The construction of the Department's new headquarters is not expected to be completed until the second half of 2009.
The Government decision also provides for the transfer of Defence Forces Headquarters staff to the Curragh, Co. Kildare.
No costs have been incurred to date by my Department under the Government's decentralisation programme.
