Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 November 2012
95. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will furnish a schedule of employment progress by calendar year since the Croke Park Agreement commenced for Government Departments and their agencies in tabular form; if he will make a statement in cases where the percentage figures in the agencies seem to exceed those for their parent Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49003/12]
View answerThe data requested by the Deputy is given in the table.
Decisions in relation to the allocation of staffing resources between an individual Department and its agencies is a matter, in the first instance, for the management of the Department concerned having regard to a wide range of factors including the remit of the respective bodies, the relative priority of their functions, the profile of their staffing and financial resources, the potential for achieving efficiencies in the delivery of public services and a range of Government policies including those relating to expenditure, public service numbers, agency rationalisation and public service reform.
