283. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of employees of his Department who were dismissed in each of the years 2016 to 2018 and to date 2019; the reason for the dismissal of each employee; the number of employees suspended in the same period; and the reason for the suspension of each in tabular form. [48080/19]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I can confirm to the Deputy that one Department employee was dismissed in 2019 when their contract was terminated after failing to successfully complete their probation period.

No other Department employees were dismissed between 2016 and 2018 or were suspended in this entire period.
