Co Kerry to get more civil service posts

Minister for Justice, John O’Donoghue, has continued with his controversial decentralisation plan despite the Minister for Finance putting the scheme on hold until after the general election.

Cahirciveen in Co Kerry, which is part of Minister O’Donoghue’s constituency is to increase the number of civil servants based in the town after it was announced that the Legal Aid Scheme is to move to the town.

It will become the second such scheme in the area after the Legal Aid Board was opened in the town recently.
