View answerThe National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only body under the aegis of my Department. NESDO has not informed me of any staffing difficulties which may impinge upon its ability to effectively oversee the spending of public funds.
79 Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Taoiseach if he will outline the organisations under his Department for which an employment control framework has been agreed; the current numbers they have in place; if they have been waiting more than one month to receive sanction to proceed to fill or retain any positions in spite of such positions falling below the agreed ECF ceiling. [28393/11]
View answerThe National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only body under the aegis of my Department. An employment Control Framework is in place for NESDO and it currently employs 19.2 whole time equivalents. The questions of awaiting sanction to fill or retain positions do not arise.
