497 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Transport the number of staff who have transferred to his Department under the decentralisation CAF or DCAF schemes and who have found that they must make a further move to another section within six months of their Departmental transfer; the effect such moves have on staff morale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Staff that have transferred to my Department under the decentralisation CAF or DCAF schemes have not had to make a further move to another section within six months of their Departmental transfer. Staff transferred to my department are assigned to the relevant division that is decentralising.
