Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2014
316. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs further to Parliamentary Question No. 751 of 17 September 2014, if he will provide a breakdown on a regional basis of the number of social worker vacancies in each region; and the number of the 100 current vacancies which are vacant due to maternity leave. [36470/14]
View answerThe following table presents details on the number of social work posts at various stages of recruitment and of maternity leave by region across the Child and Family Agency. It should be noted that the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 751 stated there were 100 posts currently on offer to candidates or under active recruitment and that in addition there were a further 48 posts awaiting recruitment approval. I have since been advised by the Agency that the full 148 posts are now approved for filling and at various stages of the recruitment process.
