NOTES:—
(1) Apart from the officers mentioned as employed "part-time" on the work of preparation for Ireland's entry into the Common Market many other officers occasionally deal with EEC work in the course of their normal duties.
(2) It is not possible to show separately the number of officers in common services, e.g., typing pools, who are employed on Common Market work.
