296. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of authorised officers under Article 11 of the European Union (Construction Products) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 225 of 2013) who have been appointed since 2013; and the number who are currently employed in each Markey surveillance expressed as full-time equivalents in tabular form. [52814/22]
View answerUnder section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each Chief Executive is responsible for the staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authority for which he or she is responsible.
My Department oversees workforce planning for the local government sector, including the monitoring of local government sector employment levels. To this end, my Department gathers aggregate quarterly data on staff numbers in each local authority on a whole time equivalent basis.
However, granular data, in terms of individual roles in local authorities is not collected and consequently is not available in my Department. The relevant information would be available from individual local authorities.
