Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2016
282. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of front line and non-front line administrative staff and the number of senior managers employed in Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, including the wage costs by front line and by non-front line staff. [4213/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere were a total of 548.95 whole time equivalent staff employed in the clerical administrative and senior management grades in Tusla at end December 2015. Of these, 92.08 (2.6% of all staff) were senior management grades. Senior management grades are defined as Grade VIII and above.
Front line staff can be defined as workers who are in direct contact with the public. While many of the clerical administrative and management grades operate at local level, it is not possible to provide the numbers that have direct contact with the public as Tusla does not maintain records in this manner.
