The total number of staff throughout the whole organisational structure of the DPP is 194. The Public Appointments Service is working to fill vacancies for solicitors and administrative support. The DPP has three main divisions including a directing division consisting of barristers and solicitors who examine criminal investigation files and decide whether prosecutions should be taken. The solicitors' division consists of solicitors who prepare and conduct cases on behalf of the director in all courts sitting in Dublin. The administration division consists of general Civil Service grades. It provides support and other services to both the directing division and the solicitors' division in order to enable the office to fulfil its statutory function.
