Mr. David Cooney:
The total staff complement of the Department is 1,367.5. I presume this refers to the fact that somebody is working part time. Of that number, 764 are at home, 585 are abroad and 17 are in Northern Ireland. If these figures do not add up, it is because there are percentages in them. Not all of the staff are funded from Vote 28. Those who work in the development missions are funded from Vote 27.
