81. Deputy Seamus Kirk asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide in tabular form the total number of staff under the remit of his Department who have applied to be transferred to Department or State agency offices located outside the Dublin region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35297/15]

The number of my Department’s staff who have applied for a transfer to offices outside Dublin is set out in the following table. This includes staff seeking to move from one of my Department’s regional locations to another.

I have asked all Agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide me with corresponding information in relation to their own staff and I will communicate that information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
