Question 681: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 559 of 29 June 2010, the way she intends to fulfil Section 5 (a) of the Employment Control Framework if her Department does not monitor the number of staff employed in each grade within the higher education sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

It is the responsibility of the individual higher education institutions, subject to the continued oversight and review by the HEA and both my Department and the Department of Finance, to manage their staffing resources in the context of implementing the Employment Control Framework and to ensure compliance with all the conditions. Institutions are required to maintain appropriate records in relation to their observance of the conditions and to make those records available as required.
In that regard, I understand that the HEA is currently setting up a process for the development of a comprehensive staff database for all its higher education institutions. This will enable detailed analysis of a wide range of issues in relation to staffing across the sector as well as facilitating monitoring of all aspects of the ECF.
