View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 419 to 422, inclusive, together.
The Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs was established on 9th June 2016. The Department has responsibility for all the matters that previously came within the remit of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, which was itself established on 2nd June 2011, and in addition is also responsible for certain functions transferred from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and from the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
The information sought by the Deputy is provided in the table in respect of the period from 2011 onwards. During that period, there were no members of staff from my Department seconded to or from a firm in the private sector, nor was any staff member refused a secondment during this period, hence there were no appeals in this regard.
I am advised that the following number of staff from my Department have been seconded to other Departments or agencies in the civil service from 2011 to 2016.
