The following table presents data on full and part time workers in the Civil Service (including traditional part-time - i.e. 50% of full-time - and other work sharing patterns) from end 2006 to Q2, 2016. Data for the prison service, which is part of the Civil Service, is recorded separately as prison staff are predominantly full-time. The "other" category refers to a small number of instances where a breakdown on a full or part time basis is not readily available and therefore is recorded on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis.
Information on the number of public servants in each sector on a whole time equivalent basis is available on http://databank.per.gov.ie/, however more detailed information on work patterns in the wider public service, including in health and education, is not held centrally by my Department. The main Government Departments responsible for individual sectors may be able to provide the information requested by the Deputy for those sectors.
