Written answers

I propose to answer Questions Nos. 273 to 276, inclusive, and 280 and 281 together.

I refer to my replies to Questions Nos. 402, 403 and 407 of 16 July 2013. Comparative data is not available in my Department in the form sought by the Deputy. Current data on public service numbers can be accessed at http://databank.per.gov.ie/ while available population data can be accessed at www.cso.ie. The current Government target for public service numbers by end 2014 is 282,500.
