Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 January 2010
712 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of staff in his Department, broken down by division and section, annually since 2007 to date in 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2164/10]
View answerThe number of staff by programme area serving in my Department at year-end in 2007, 2008 and 2009 is set out in the table. In view of the redesign of work areas and the number of structural changes that occurred across my Department during this period, it is not feasible to provide a division/section level breakdown of staff as requested by the Deputy.
