The numbers of staff employed in the State bodies that come within the remit of my Department and the number currently employed are listed as follows.
In relation to the Deputy's query regarding the target number at which point the moratorium on recruitment and promotion in the public service will end, the precise ceilings in each area are subject to any future Government policy decisions and priorities in regard to public service provision. The Government will keep the application of the moratorium on recruitment and promotion under review and the matter will be revisited in each sector as the staffing levels in the Employment Control Frameworks for the sectors are achieved.
The moratorium did not apply to commercial state bodies. Accordingly the figures given in respect of those bodies are the staff currently employed.
Details of staff employed by the subsidiaries of Horse Racing Ireland will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
