The Agricultural Environment and Structures office in North Tipperary has a full complement of staff. Staffing levels there compare favourably with the levels in neighbouring offices.

The staffing levels in the local AES offices of my Department are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the necessary staffing resources are in place in order to ensure delivery of the Scheme concerned.
