Ten new civil servants were recruited to my Department during 2014. This does not include officers who transferred into the Department from other Departments or State Agencies.
In relation to the number of recruitments in the HSE my Department has asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
Information relating to Non-Commercial State Agencies under the aegis of my Department is currently being collated and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
