Clarification and consultation needed on proposed decentralisation

Date Released: 03 Dec 2003

SIPTU will be meeting relevant agencies and Government Departments to clarify Minister McCreevy's intentions on his proposals on decentralisation, as announced in today's Budget, according to SIPTU Regional Secretary, Brendan Hayes.

"We will then be consulting with our members in the relevant semi-State bodies including the IDA, Failte Ireland, BIM and FAS, where we represent staff and where this announcement will cause huge concern," said Mr. Hayes.

"The Minister for Finance has said the transfer will be voluntary and while this assurance is to be welcomed, our members will not be satisfied until they have been assured that their job security will be guaranteed if they choose to remain in Dublin.

"SIPTU will be seeking these assurances at meetings with the relevant bodies over the coming weeks," concluded Mr. Hayes.
