Staffing levels across my Department are kept under regular review in line with emerging business needs and Government policy on public sector pay and staffing as advised by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
I am pleased to note that there has been significant recruitment in the National Park and Wildlife Service of my Department in recent months. To date this year 20 permanent industrial posts have been filled across the NPWS. The Department has also filled 62 seasonal posts nationwide to cover the busy tourist season. In the last month my Department has appointed both a permanent Visitor Guide and a permanent Bus Driver in Glenveagh National Park.
