The information sought by the Deputy in relation to numbers in the Inspectorate and the number of inspectors that retired since 2002 is contained in the attached tabular statement. I would like to point out to the Deputy that the Inspectorate operates under a unified management structure rather than individual management structures for both primary and Post Primary Inspectors.
