Currently a total of 16 employees in my Department avail of the worksharing scheme. Of this number, one is male and fifteen are female. In addition, since the more recent introduction of the Shorter Working Year scheme in 2009, a total of 5 employees in my Department, one male and four female, have availed of this scheme. No employee has been refused leave to participate in these schemes.
