I am advised that staffing levels in the National Archives and across my Department are kept under regular review and resources required to meet business needs are assessed through the workforce planning process, having regard to Department of Public Expenditure and Reform directives, guidelines and circulars on staffing, as well as to emerging business priorities and the availability of payroll resources.
