asked the Minister for Finance if he will indicate the total number of civil servants (a) permanent and (b) temporary in employment each year since 1957.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Civil Service Personnel.
The available statistics are set out in a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—

Number of Civil Servants |
|
Permanent |

|
1st January, 1957 |
18,322 |
12,401 |
1st January, 1958 |
18,437 |
11,848 |
1st January, 1959 |
18,622 |

1st January, 1963 |
20,248 |
9,480 |
1st January, 1964 |
20,733 |
9,650 |
The figures are taken from the Civil Service Census which relates to the first working day of the calendar year; figures are not yet available in respect of 1st January, 1965. The 1957 and 1958 figures include temporary classes—mainly Scale-payment SubPostmasters, Branch Managers of Employment Exchanges and certain part-time employees—whose estimated total number is 2,700 at most and who were excluded from the Census from 1959 onwards.
