426. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of staff in the NPWS with climate action expertise; if there are plans to recruit more; and the average cost per WTE and HTE per grade, in tabular form. [55006/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is an Executive Agency within my Department with responsibility for, inter alia, the management of our National Parks. The NPWS does not employ personnel specifically with climate action expertise. While there may be staff who have such expertise it is not an essential requirement for any role in the NPWS and therefore we do not hold a record of such qualifications.
