Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

The current staffing levels and grading structure at the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) were agreed early last year following an extensive engagement between the CER, my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There have been no requests to my Department for any additional staff posts since then.
