36 of the staff who entered the public service from 1 January 2011 to date were assigned to my Department. This figure does not include staff recruited under a fixed term contract.

The breakdown by numbers per year is as follows:

- 5 staff recruited in 2012

- 3 staff recruited in 2014

- 19 Staff recruited in 2015

- 9 staff recruited in 2016

I understand that the information on the number of staff who entered the civil service is being replied to by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
