Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

I propose to take Questions Nos. 107 and 109 together.

I am advised that the baseline number of staff in the Human Resources Division of my Department prior to the introduction of PeoplePoint was 33. There are currently 17.3 full time equivalent staff members in the Human Resources Division who are responsible for servicing approximately 2,000 staff in my Department.

In line with the planned scope of the PeoplePoint project, Human Resources Division retains responsibility for resource management, appointments, training and development, workforce planning and employee management and relations.
