Question:

36 Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the changes he has made in the staffing of the units transferred to his Department. [20303/11]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

There have been some recent changes in staffing assignments and responsibilities throughout the Department. The establishment of the Department also involved the integration of some former staff of the Department of the Taoiseach. However, as the Deputy will appreciate, the level of resources assigned to specific policy areas is determined by the business needs of the Department which, I can assure the Deputy, will continue to be kept under review.
