352. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of staff employed in his Department by gender and by Civil Service salary scale, in tabular form. [9662/21]
View answerThe total number of permanent full-time equivalent staff in civil service grades in my Department as of 31 January 2021; the grades of these officers and the proportion of female and male staff in each grade is in tabular form below.
My Department is committed to the principles of equality, impartiality and fairness, to valuing the contributions of all staff and to championing gender equality and diversity, including by ensuring that women are represented in teams at HQ and at our Missions abroad. Advancing gender equality is a key objective in the Department's Human Resources Strategy 2019-2022. In addition, my Department has an active Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Sub-Committee of the Management Board which focuses on gender equality issues, including through the implementation of a Gender Equality Action Plan. The work underway across my Department complements wider efforts towards gender equality being advanced through the Civil Service renewal process.
