347. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of new staff recruited to his Department from January 2019 to date; the title of each employment position; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53635/19]

Written answers

The following table lists all staff recruited by my Department from January 2019 to date.  It should be noted that I have included all new hires and re-hires, as well as transfers to my Department during the period in question. 

In line with workforce planning processes and my Department's business needs, staffing numbers will be continuously reviewed and further new recruits will be engaged as required. 

As well as addressing factors that occur annually, such as retirements and transfers out, a key feature of recruitment in the Department in 2019 was the necessity to address potential Brexit contingencies.
