I refer to the reply to Question No. 427 of 6 April 2006. Local authority staffing increased by over 25% in the period 1997 to 2003 and I am continuing to keep the overall employment position in the sector under regular review, having regard to the need to deliver quality frontline services and achieve value for money within the parameter of Government policy on public service employment generally.
