Where will jobs be based after the RPA?
The location of the ESA is yet to be decided. When this decision is being made, all staffing and equality issues will of course be taken into account. Although the establishment of the ESA will mean centralisation of services in one organisation; this does not mean that the service provided by the ESA will be sited in one location. It is very likely that the ESA will have locations throughout Northern Ireland to ensure services are close to the point of delivery.
