417. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills the annual percentage of non-commercial State-sponsored bodies' staff under the remit of his Department that were women in each of the years 2010 to 2016 and to date in 2017, in tabular form. [38361/17]

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 417 and 418 together.
The information on gender breakdown sought by the Deputy in regard to public service staff in non-commercial State Bodies is not collated by the Department or Bodies and it would be a significant administrative undertaking to collate the data sought for the years in question.
For the Deputy's information, in addition to the provision of Statutory financial information, each Government Department/Office's annual Appropriation Accounts set out a range of information in notes to the annual accounts. The Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General publishes the Appropriation Accounts annually by September 30th in line with statutory requirements.
Details in regard to the employee numbers relating to my Department and its associated State Bodies are published annually in the notes to the Appropriation Accounts.
The Appropriation Accounts for years prior to 2016 are available for download at the following address: http://audgen.gov.ie/documents/annualreports. The 2016 Appropriation Accounts will be published by the Comptroller by end September 2017.
