The total number of permanent full-time equivalent staff in civil service grades in my Department at the end of years 2016, 2017 and 2018, the grades of these officers and the proportion of female and male staff in each grade is in tabular form below.

My Department also employs locally engaged staff in Missions abroad, and temporary staff on a seasonal basis.

My Department is committed to advancing gender equality and ensuring that women are represented fully in our teams at home and abroad. Our Missions abroad and our senior management structures at home need to be representative of the people of Ireland, and better gender balance will help us achieve one element of that ambition.

My Department has an active Gender Equality Sub-Committee of the Management Board as well as two working groups focusing on gender equality and diversity issues. The work that we are doing, through the Department’s Gender Equality Action Plan, complements the wider work on gender equality being advanced through the Civil Service Renewal Process.
