I propose to take Question Nos. 166, 167 and 168 together.

At February 2009, the number of posts occupied in the Department's offices in County Donegal was 327, as detailed in the table below. At February 2010, there are 394 posts occupied in the Department's offices in County Donegal. This includes the new decentralized office in Buncrana that opened in October 2009, as detailed in the table.

* The Department's new decentralised office in Buncrana opened in October 2009

** 24 posts transferred from Letterkenny to the new office in Buncrana.

Due to staff action currently being taken, I regret that I am unable to provide the information sought by the Deputy in respect of the persons who are on long-term or maternity leave as and from February 2010.
