I propose to take Questions Nos. 262 and 263 together.
In response to the Deputy’s questions, the following table outlines the annual percentage of staff that were women in my Department and the bodies under its aegis, since the Department was established in 2011. It should be noted that a number of the bodies were only established in the period since 2011.
