Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
395. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of full-time equivalent and part-time equivalent posts filled by his Department at principal officer, assistant principal officer, higher executive officer, executive officer and clerical officer grades for the past five years; the cost to the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35488/20]
View answerThe information sought is set out in the table. It should be noted that my Department has seen several structural changes since 2016 as a result of various transfer of functions processes. Accordingly, the figures in the table will, of necessity, include posts which may have since moved from my Department to other Departments as part of the transfer out of Environment and Community functions. In addition, my Department has also seen the transfer inwards of functions in relation to Heritage matters as part of the formation of the current Government and posts related to that function have only been included since their transfer on 8th September 2020. It should be noted that these posts are a mix of additional staff and filling of vacancies arising as a result of staff leaving roles.
The salary costs listed are the average annual costs for the relevant year.
