Ruairí Quinn

Question:

91 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the number of established positions of (a) cleaner (b) messenger and (c) porter which exist in his Department; the number of vacancies which have remained unfilled because of the embargo; the present number of vacancies; the number which are capable of being filled; the number which have been filled since 1 January 1990; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. O'Kennedy)

The information sought is as follows:

	Full-Time Posts
	Cleaner	Messenger/ Porter
Numbers serving May 1990	34	39
Unfilled posts (March 1987 to May 1990)	12	9
Fillable posts May 1990	6	3
Posts filled since January 1990	Nil	2

It is expected that six cleaners and three messengers will be appointed very shortly in my Department.
