    i saw in yesterdays independant that the de-centralisation move to limerick was over sub-scribed,

    they wanted 125 but 217 volunteered

    seems set for march next year...

    good to see the media hasnt managed to turn all people off limnerick..

    This is all I can find...
    of the 123 staff who work at Development Co-operation Ireland, which manages the Government's overseas-aid programme, only 13 are willing to move to Limerick

    from here

    unless they've had a big change of heart

    The problem is that most of the people wanting to go to country locations are already serving in other country locations! For example, someone in Limerick wants to go to Tralee, or vice-versa. Not what the government wants at all! They still have another country vacancy to fill.

    There is a big thread on Decentralisation (note: no hyphen) here http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166556

    Not your ornery onager

    Isn't it the Development Aid section of the Department of Foreign Affairs section that's moving?

    I've chatted to two people on different occasions who've transferred out of that section to avoid going to Limerick. The way it works is that someone from the Department of Defence of Agriculture or another department, with a Limerick background, will transfer in and move down. Bloody joke.

    its a disgrace that little villages in the middle of no where that don't have the proper infrastructure to cope with the influx of new people are getting massive department offices and cities like limerick are getting tiny departmental offices.

    Birr is expected to take 400 FAS workers, we get like 24 new civil servants or something like that.

    parochial politics at its best.
