The table below sets out the number of vacant posts in my Department's office in Limerick.

Staff numbers in my Department, like those across the civil service as a whole, have fallen as a result of the Government's early retirement scheme and the embargoes on promotions and recruitment. This reduction in staff numbers is seen across the Department, including in the Limerick office.
