I propose to take Questions Nos. 42 and 69 together.
The published Revised Estimates Volume (REV) for 2013 outlines the resourcing details on a Programme Level for both the Department and the Agencies under its aegis as set out in the table below. As my Department are currently engaged in discussions with the individual Agencies on their respective Employment Control Framework (ECF) targets, I am not in a position to provide the details on each individual Agency ECF target for 2013 at this juncture. The Department has written to each Agency about the targets and the consequential reduction in payroll allocations and has highlighted that the achievement of both payroll savings and numbers reduction is a key element of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the joint EU – IMF programme for Ireland.
