Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 July 2017
1323. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of full-time staff within his Department with specific responsibility for social housing policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34684/17]
View answerA single Division in my Department has full responsibility for all social housing matters both policy and operational. On 31 May 2017, there were 121.65 full time equivalent staff members working in the Division. It is not possible to disaggregate the staff into precise numbers dealing with policy and operational matters as, in the case of many staff, their roles involve them in both areas of activity.
