Written answers

I can confirm that the latest available data shows that, measured on the basis of whole time equivalents (WTEs), there were just under 290,900 public sector workers at the end of 2012. The data on serving numbers is collected and tracked on a quarterly basis. The next update will show the position at end March 2013.

Historical data on public service numbers is available at (http://databank.per.gov.ie/) from 1994 to Quarter 4 2012.
