* This figure refers only to those involved in the personnel function for the Department's own staff. In addition, the Department of the Public Service have central responsibility for a wide range of personnel management functions in relation to the entire public sector (some 300,000 people). All the Department's staff except the 206 in the Central Data Processing Service are engaged in this work.
Notes:
1. Departments in supplying the above information were asked to include staff engaged in personnel, organisation, industrial relations and training work. In some Departments these persons are integrated with officers engaged on other personnel work and it was not feasible to try to segregate the various duties. The numbers shown do not include those providing common services such as typing, messenger services and registry which come under the management of personnel sections.
2. The figures include persons employed in the formulation of personnel policy for bodies coming under the aegis of a Department/Office such as health boards, local authorities. An Garda Síocháana, State-sponsored bodies and education sector employees.
