Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

On the basis of the clarification received from the Deputy on the information he requires, I wish to confirm that neither my Department nor any of the agencies under its remit have any positions exceeding the usual number in place. All of the Agencies under my Department's remit continue to operate within their overall approved staffing levels.
