There are 4 commercial State Bodies under my Department's aegis:

Bord na g Con

Coillte Teoranta

Horse Racing Ireland

Irish National Stud

As these are commercial bodies this information is a matter for the Board of each of the State Agencies/Bodies themselves. However, information on the number of employees, the total budget and total personnel cost is available in the Annual Report of each State Body which is held in the library to the Houses of the Oireachtas

My Department does not retain the details requested by the Deputy. Access to this information would have to be requested from the semi – State agencies.
