Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
1689. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science how many planners are employed by his Department; and how many architects are employed by his Department. [13902/24]
View answerMy Department does not employ any specific planning staff. There are a number of Professional and Technical staff who undertake work associated with the capital planning and development needs of the tertiary sector. At present, these staff amount to one Architect, one Engineer and one Quantity Surveyor. The need to increase our Professional and Technical resources has been identified and consideration is being given to their recruitment. A new Technical Manager is joining the organisation in May.
