There are nine Civil Servants in my Department in receipt of a full salary and have not worked in the past month. Their absence is mainly due to Sick Leave, Maternity Leave and other statutory entitlements. The total cost of employing the staff concerned is €28,701. It is not possible to identify staff on Annual Leave for the period in question in the time frame allowed.
