Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1447. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills to set out the total number of new appointments made in her Department and those under her remit since March 2011 to date in 2014, with a breakdown of the grade to which they were appointed during the period. [35119/14]
View answerFollowing the introduction of the Government moratorium on Civil & Public Service recruitment in 2009 my Department approached the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform (D/PER) in relation to certain posts it considered essential in order to deliver key services to schools such as school inspections and educational psychological services and therefore many of the appointments included in the following table were to replace staff who had retired/resigned during the period under consideration. The requested information in respect of new appointments in my Department is set out in the following table which does not include secondments or redeployments to this Department.
The information requested in respect of bodies under the remit of my Department is currently being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
