Question:359 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will give a breakdown by gender of the number of people in his Department in each grade who are currently job-sharing.
I propose to reply to Questions Nos. 356 to 359, inclusive, together.
There are currently eight officers, all female, job-sharing in my Department as follows: Higher Executive Officer, 1; Executive Officer, 3; Clerical Officer, 2; Clerical Assistant, 2.
None of the officers concerned has had to revert to a lower grade in order to job-share. The eight officers are assigned in pairs, with the higher executive officer and one of the executive officers forming a pair. All eight officers work on a weekly rotation basis of three days one week, two days the following week.
