The number of whole-time equivalent civil servants employed by my Department and its agencies as at 31 October 2007 is 2,167, of which 63 are temporary contract staff. These figures do not include staff of An Garda Síochána, the Courts Service, the Legal Aid Board and the Property Registration Authority.

It is not possible to provide comparative figures for 31 October 2002 due to significant changes in responsibilities in the intervening years..
