Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
If we go back to 2021, just ESB Networks, as part of the ESB, was 3,350 people. We have seen significant retirements in the meantime, but we have got that number up over 4,000. As I said in the opening statement, we have hired well over 1,000 people. I would say it is probably at least 1,300. We have also extended our apprenticeship programme from approximately 60 per annum to approximately 150.
