At Executive Officer level, there no vacancies in my Department's offices in Athlone and 1.5 Executive Officer vacancies in my Department's offices in Tullamore on 31 January 2009. Due to pressures on the staff payroll budget, my Department has had to implement a number of measures to ensure that expenditure on staff payroll comes within budget in 2009. These measures include the holding of vacancies for a period, prior to the filling of same. I am not in a position to inform the Deputy when my Department will be in a position to fill these posts.
