Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O'Sullivan)

The information sought in respect of the period 2002 – 2011 is available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie.

Data for 2012 are not yet available. Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each City and County Manager is responsible for staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible.
