The Government decision on decentralisation provides for the transfer of the Department's Dublin based civil service staff, together with a number of military personnel to Newbridge, Co Kildare and for the decentralisation of the Defence Forces Headquarters (DFHQ) to the Curragh. The number of posts to be relocated to Newbridge is approximately 200 Civil Servants and 43 Military personnel. A further 410 military personnel will decentralise to the Curragh. The building is under construction and is expected to be ready for occupation by December, 2009.

More Information on general progress of the decentralisation initiative is available at the Government Decentralisation website or at Publicjobs.ie
