The number of whole-time equivalent staff serving in my Department and agencies staffed by it on 1 January and 10 December 2009 was 2,271 and 2,108 respectively. The foregoing figures do not include bodies in the wider Justice sector which recruit their own staff such as the Courts Service, Garda Síochána, Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, Legal Aid Board, Property Registration Authority and non-administrative staff in the Irish Prisons Service.
