Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 996 to 998, inclusive, together.
Eight staff members were recruited to my Department in 2014, one staff member was seconded to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to take up a position in the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the EU in Brussels and two staff members retired.
Overall staff numbers in the Department were reduced from 246 in 2013 to 245 in 2014 due to a number of factors including redeployment, career breaks, resignations, retirements, etc.
