The most recent available information for non-industrial civil servants indicates that around 17% are under the age of 30, about 7% are between the ages of 55 and 59 and just under 3.5% are between the ages of 60 and 65. Excluded from these figures are certain numbers serving in the Irish Prison Service, Garda civilian staff and local recruits working abroad for the Department of Foreign Affairs. Similar information in regard to the wider public sector is not centrally maintained.
