The following tables outline the position on 1 October 2009 in relation to the number of vacant positions in my Department, the number of vacancies in all State bodies and organisations answerable to me; the grade and the average length of the vacancies in each case.

Posts vacated as a result of the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement and the special Incentivised Career Break Scheme do not represent vacancies and are, therefore, not included in the table above.
