Ceist:67 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment the number and full details of the applications within his Department for job sharing which currently cannot be met due to the embargo on staff recruitment. [8004/96]
Written Answers. - Embargo on Staff Recruitment.
No job sharing applications have been refused as a direct result of the recently announced restrictions on staffing. Five applications for job sharing are currently under consideration in my Department. These are being examined having regard to the grade of the applicants, the particular form of job sharing requested and the need to find a replacement/partner.
