As part of its ongoing workforce planning my Department keeps staffing matters under constant review in order to ensure all priority vacancies are filled in a timely manner and that resource allocations are balanced across the Department to meet key priorities as necessary.
The Department is currently engaged in the latest round of formal workforce planning in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The outcome of this process will determine the estimated number of vacancies in my Department across all grades, both administrative and professional/technical, due to arise in the period up to 2021.
The Department has been generally successful in filling roles advertised or falling vacant. From time to time, some technical and professional roles can take more time to recruit, e.g. in the ICT area.
The information requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out in the following table:
