Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 562 to 565, inclusive, together.

The information requested in relation to the number of public sector workers employed in local authority maintenance sections is not held in my Department.

In relation to the moratorium on recruitment, as announced in the recent Budget, it is proposed that with effect from 2015, the moratorium and the Employment Control Framework for the Public Service will be lifted but recruitment/promotion will be subject to adherence to binding 3 year pay ceilings. Staffing resources must be managed within these overall ceilings. Detailed arrangements in terms of the local authority sector are currently being worked out between my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
