The following is the information requested by the Deputy in tabular form for my Department and the bodies under the aegis of my Department.
The decentralisation programme operates on a voluntary basis only and no staff were designated to move from Dublin to any location unless they applied to decentralise to a provincial location.

*Includes 14 staff recruited (1 PO, 5 AP, 1 Administrative Officer, 1 EO, 3 CO, 3 Services Officer).
As my Department has retained a substantial number of posts in Dublin, the necessity to compulsorily re-assign staff to other posts in Dublin did not arise.
However, a number of staff whose posts were designated for decentralisation have been assigned new duties. It should also be noted that a number of re-assignments to other Departments did take place on a voluntary basis.

*The figures for Navan include 9 staff who were already in location in the VRO office, Navan.
As Revenue retained a substantial number of posts in Dublin, the necessity to reassign staff who did not wish to decentralise to other Departments in Dublin did not arise. No Revenue staff moved to another Department or agency in Dublin, in order to remain in Dublin as a result of decentralisation.
In the time available to answer the question, the Office of Public Works was unable to compile the information in the format sought by the Deputy. However, the information will be compiled and forwarded by that Office to the Deputy as soon as possible.
