In relation to my Department, the details of persons employed on fixed term or fixed purpose temporary contracts are as follows:
Year | No. of persons on temporary contract | Annual cost |
2008 | 5 | € 343,261 |
2009 | 8 | € 688,655 |
Some people were employed on contracts for a duration exceeding one year and are therefore included for both years. While some people may have been recruited during the year, the annual cost given relates to a full year cost.
With regard to agencies under the aegis of my Department I am advised as follows:
Revenue Commissioners
Year | Number of Temporary Contracts | Total number of weeks | Annualised full time equivalents | Total Cost |
2008 | 619 | 9,182 | 175 approx. | € 4,529,000 |
