Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

As part of its Reform Agenda, the Government is committed to reducing public service numbers to 282,500 by the end of 2015 with the aim of producing a more customer focused, leaner, more efficient, better integrated public service which delivers maximum value for money. Details of Public Service staff numbers and Government Offices are not held centrally on a county by county basis. The Deputy is advised to contact the relevant Ministers directly for such information. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform does not have any Offices in Co. Kerry.
