Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
264. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will include a breakdown of staff by gender within his Department's online databank public sector numbers dataset. [37063/17]
View answerMy Department collects quarterly information on Public Service staff numbers and pay which is set out in the databank available on the Department's website. Other than in relation to the civil service, the aggregate-level data provided to my Department does not currently extend to a detailed breakdown of public service workforce characteristics, including on the basis of gender. Consideration is currently being given by my Department to expanding the scope of human resource data collated on a centralised basis subject to compliance with data sharing and data protection requirements as appropriate.
