Only 2% of IMPACT members apply for decentralisation

ONLY 2% of members of the biggest union in State agencies have applied to be decentralised outside of Dublin.

While the official figures show that one in three of the civil servants have applied to be relocated, a closer examination shows a low demand in key areas, said IMPACT spokesman Peter Nolan.

This is particularly apparent in the key State enterprises like the Irish Aviation Authority, the Ordnance Survey Office, ADM and Comhairle whose employees IMPACT represents.
