Parlon to report on relocation of agencies

The Government will be forced to clarify tomorrow if the decentralisation of the majority of State agencies can still proceed, in light of the low take-up by workers in that sector.

The priority list for decentralisation over the next two years is dominated by Government departments moving to locations within the commuter belt around Dublin.

Minster of State at the Department of Finance Tom Parlon will appear at the Oireachtas finance committee tomorrow afternoon to discuss the public service decentralisation programme of 10,000 civil servants to 52 locations across the country.
