Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2017
296. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the total number of staff requested by his Department and in each State body under his auspices, in the 2012 to 2016 period on an annual basis, in tabular form; the number of staff subsequently hired in each year in this period on a Department wide basis and in each State agency under his auspices; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5178/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs business needs arise in my Department appropriate resources are sourced primarily from our recruitment partners, the Public Appointments Service. My Department also carries out a small level of recruitment under licence from the Commission of Public Service Appointments for skill sets specific to my Department.
Staff recruitment within each State Body under my Department's auspices is a matter for the State Bodies themselves once they remain within their budget as set in their Delegated Sanction.
