The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table that follows this reply. The staffing figures take account of staff assigned from Ireland and locally engaged support staff as well as, in the cases of New Delhi and Abu Dhabi, visa office staff of the Department of Justice and Equality, the salary costs of whom are borne by that Department. A small number of staff who are indirectly engaged through local employment agencies, some on a temporary basis, are also included in the staffing figures.
