The moratorium on staffing in the public service was introduced from 27 March 2008 to end 2010. The table below sets out the numbers, in terms of whole time equivalents, employed in the State bodies under the aegis of my Department as at 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009.

The objective is to reduce the total number of staff, in terms of whole time equivalents, across all the agencies listed above to 1118 by end 2010.
