Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 304 and 306 together.
I am interpreting the Deputy's questions as relating to persons and bodies to which my Department provides funding through the Vote, including in respect of either their operational costs or agreed programmes of activity.
The number of civil and public servants employed and remunerated by the Department its Offices and Agencies was 2,822 at the end of 2011, with a limit of 2,668 posts set for 2012.
The number of retired public servants in receipt of a pension payment directly from the Department its Offices and Agencies was 1,331 at the end of 2011, with an estimated 1,438 pensioners being paid by the end of 2012.
The following table sets out the Offices, Agencies and other Bodies for whom funding was provided through my Department's Vote in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. There is no anticipated change to the list in respect of 2012.

There are a number of representative advisory Groups and Councils for which the Department or one of its Agencies provides secretariat support. The Department may, where appropriate, be represented on these bodies. The costs associated with these bodies (detailed below) are, in general, met from the resource allocations of the Department or of the Agency that hosts the Groups. However, the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN) reports jointly to me and to the Minister for Education and Skills. The costs of the EGFSN are met from the National Training Fund, which is administered by the Minister for Education and Skills.
