Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 October 2019
263. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of full-time and part-time civil servants his Department has recruited by grade in each of the years 2014 to 2018 and to date in 2019; the number of full-time and part-time civil servants his Department has lost due to retirement by grade in the same period; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41822/19]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is included in the following tables, which set out the number of staff who were recruited and who retired in the relevant years. These totals include permanent and non-permanent staff employed by or through the Department, and include, amongst others, staff in the Probation Service, Forensic Science Ireland, the Insolvency Service of Ireland and headquarters staff in the Irish Prison Service.
Please note that the totals provided for retirements do not include staff who left the Department for reasons other than retirement, such as promotion or transfer within the civil service, career break or resignation.
On a full-time equivalent basis, the overall number of staff employed by the Department increased from 1,878 in 2014 to 2,391 in 2018. This reflected overall trends within the civil service and an expansion of the services provided by the Department.
