Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2019
624. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of employees in her Department; the number professionally qualified with organisations (details supplied); the number with other relevant professional qualifications; and the number with no professional qualifications in tabular form. [1887/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe staffing level in my Department as at the end of December 2018 was 6728 officers (6363 full-time equivalents).
A register of staff qualifications is maintained by this Department. The number of staff who have informed the Department on acquiring a professional qualification with the following organisations or bodies to which you refer are as follows:
|
Professional Qualifications |

Irish Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management |

|
Chartered Accountants Ireland |

Chartered Institute of Management Accountants |

My Department is not in a position to provide details of those staff members who do not hold a professional qualification.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
