Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 March 2017
126. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he is satisfied that Caranua has sufficient staffing levels to clear the backlog of applications, with some waiting over six months. [14287/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware Caranua is an independent Statutory body and it is a matter for the organization to determine its own resource requirements subject to any necessary approvals being obtained from my Department. I wish to advise that a request from Caranua for an increase in its authorized staffing complement was approved by my Department last year and I understand that the additional positions have been filled. There are no outstanding requests for additional staffing resources on hands in my Department.
