Fine Gael vows to reverse decentralisation if necessary

FINE Gael yesterday committed itself to significantly slashing the Government's ambitious decentralisation programme if necessary.

Party leader, Enda Kenny, pledged that a FG-led government would carry out an audit of the plan to transfer more than 10,000 public servants from Dublin to 53 locations around the country.

He described the current situation as a "shambles" yesterday.
