Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

At the end of July 2014, there were 3,471.22 whole time equivalents employed at the Child and Family Agency. The information requested in respect of the appointment process would not normally be held in my Department and I have asked my officials to arrange for the Agency to supply this information directly to the Deputy.
