Written Answers. - Departmental Staff.

Michael McDowell

Question:

48 Mr. M. McDowell asked the Minister for Social Welfare the number of people employed in all of his Department's employment offices throughout the country; and their grading for each of the years, 1989 to 1992.

The number of staff employed in my Department's local offices is 1,554. A breakdown of the numbers employed and their grading for each of the years 1989 to 1992 is given in a tabular statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.

In addition to my Department's local offices which are staffed by civil servants, there are 76 branch offices throughout the country which are operated by branch office managers under a contract for service with my Department. There are approximately 300 people employed by the branch office managers in these offices.
