Amharc ar fhreagraA total of 819 staff have taken up permanent posts in this Department since 1994. Included in this figure are staff who transferred from other Departments on promotion and on lateral transfers and who would have been in permanent posts in other Departments. However, it does not include approximately 680 administrative and professional and approximately 1,000 industrial staff who transferred here as a result of the re-allocation of functions between Departments in 2002.
