Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2016
614. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of new public sector workers in his Department hired to replace retiring staff and those who left the Department in each of the years 2013 to 2015; the overall percentage of staff turnover this represents; the cost or savings in payroll and pensions accrued, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20147/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn determining resource requirements, my Department engages in on-going assessment of our business needs with particular emphasis on examining our work practices with the objective of driving efficiencies. With efficiencies arising across the Department particularly from investment in enhanced IT systems and new work areas coming on stream, my Department avails of Workforce Planning processes to forecast current and future staffing needs. As there may be no direct correlation between the staff exiting my Department and new hires, and different salaries and pension arrangements apply, it is not possible to assess associated costs and savings.
