Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 November 2010
116 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 132 of 23 June 2009, the updated figures for the number of public servants decentralised to date in each project concerned; when the final transfer will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42232/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraA total of 3,407 staff have decentralised to 37 locations since the commencement of the programme.
Table 1 gives details of 31 projects in respect of which permanent accommodation has been procured or provided. A total of 2,232 staff have moved to take up positions at those locations.
Table 2 gives details of a further 3 sites where the contractual arrangements for the provision of permanent accommodation are already in place or are under active consideration. A total of 457 staff have already moved to advance offices in respect of these projects.
Table 3 gives details of 57 projects in 41 locations where contractual commitments for the provision of permanent accommodation have not yet been entered into. Advance parties totalling 718 staff are in place in temporary accommodation in respect of 16 of these projects. As already announced, decisions on the timing of implementation of the balance of these projects are deferred pending a review in 2011 in light of budgetary developments. The current economic environment and policies affecting overall public service numbers will impact on the timeframe for the completion of each project and the transfer of further staff to these locations.
