126. Deputy Seamus Kirk asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he will provide in tabular form the total number of staff under the remit of his Department that 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. [35291/15]

While my Department does not operate a transfer list, two members of staff have expressed an interest to the Department in a transfer to a location outside of the Dublin region.

The information requested in respect of the agencies under my aegis is not normally held in my Department and I have asked my officials to arrange for the Child and Family Agency, The Adoption Authority of Ireland, The Ombudsman for Children's Office and the Children Detention Schools to supply this information directly to the Deputy.
