Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 April 2019
61. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Finance the level of recruitment planned by the Revenue Commissioners in 2019 at each different grade level separate from recruitment that will be required to deal with Brexit issues; the number of persons expected to retire; if this recruitment will be sufficient to replace persons who are retiring; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18099/19]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that, excluding staff required to deal directly with Brexit, it plans to recruit the following staff by grade during the rest of 2019:
|
Grade |
Recruitment Estimate, excluding Brexit |
|
Assistant Secretary |
2 |
|
Principal |
10 |
|
Assistant Principal |
30 |
|
Administrative Officer/Higher Executive Officer |
80 |
|
Executive Officer |
100 |
|
Clerical Officer |
120 |
|
Other |
8 |
|
Total |
350 |
The number of Revenue staff forecast to retire between now and the end of 2019 is 180. I am satisfied that there will be sufficient staff recruited to replace all staff retiring and other losses, such as mobility to other Government Departments.
