View answerThe number of staff of my Department currently on career breaks is set out in tabular format below. The “duration of break” refers to the length of time off requested by the applicant when applying for their career break, including any extension and/or waiting period before a return to work. Career breaks are available to staff of my Department in accordance with provisions set centrally by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
