Department for Moorepark?

FINANCE Minister Charlie McCreevy has been urged to clarify his decision to transfer 90 Department of Agriculture and Food jobs from Cork city to Fermoy as part of decentralisation plans.

Cork East Fianna Fail TD Ned O'Keeffe said Minister McCreevy confirmed the decision when he attended a Fianna Fail organised Easter Rising commemoration ceremony in Fermoy last Sunday. Mr O'Keeffe said Fermoy was a suitable location for providing Department services to farmers in the north east Cork intensive farming area.

It was announced on Budget day that 70 Department of Agriculture and Food jobs in Cork city were being transferred to Macroom.
