There are currently a total of 731 civilian employees, comprising a wide variety of grades, reporting directly to military management. The employees, engaged under the provisions of the Defence Act 1954, are based at military locations around the country. The majority of these employees are made up of the craft, general operative and related grades involved mainly in the maintenance of military installations. The remaining civilian employees are mostly involved in clerical and storekeeping duties for the Defence Forces and also include aircraft inspectors and various technical grades. The total number of civilian employees has declined significantly in recent years and it is likely that this trend will continue over the next few years.
