Question:

564 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide an organisational chart detailing officials and their responsibilities within his Department. [7732/12]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Deputy Simon Coveney)

There are currently almost 3,700 people (3,510 full-time equivalents) employed in my Department. It would not be feasible to provide the details requested by the Deputy in respect of each staff member.

The organisation chart below details the Divisions within the Department, together with their various areas of responsibility. It also contains details of all staff at Assistant Principal (and equivalent) level and above, as currently appointed to these areas.

As the Deputy is aware, the information may be subject to significant change following the ending of the retirement ‘grace period' on 29 February 2012.
