Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
264 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide in tabular form, the total number of civil servants as of June 2012; the numbers within each grade, higher and lower scales; and the total projected Civil Service pay bill for 2012. [36592/12]
View answerPublic and Civil Service numbers at end-June 2012 are currently being compiled by my Department and I will ensure that the information sought on numbers and grade breakdown is forwarded to the Deputy when this process is complete. I would also advise the Deputy that information on Public Service numbers on a Vote Group and sectoral basis is also available on my Department's website at http://databank.per.gov.ie/.
With regard to the issue of pay, the estimated Gross Exchequer Pay Bill for this year is €15.4bn. The Civil Service accounts for around €1.7bn of this.
