The table below sets out the number of vacant posts in my Department's office in Limerick.
Post Type | Total Posts | Occupied2008 | Vacancies2008 | Occupied2009 | Vacancies2009 | Occupied2010 | Vacancies2010 |
Diplomatic | 24 | 23 | 1 | 18 | 6 | 18 | 6 |
Non-diplomatic | 114 | 102 | 12 | 98 | 18 | 97.5 | 16.5 |
Total | 138 | 125 | 13 | 116 | 22 | 115.5 | 22.5 |
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.
