Ceist:

68 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the total number of civil servants in his Department; and the number who have worked in the business or commercial sphere before entering or starting their period of employment in the public service.

Minister for Enterprise and Employment (Mr. Quinn)

The total number of civil servants in my Department on 15 April 1994 was 803. As details of the employment records of staff before they entered the Civil Service are not recorded by my Department, I am not in a position to furnish a reply to the second part of the Deputy's question.
