Table 1 sets out the 2010 budget allocation and staff composition of the agencies directly funded by my Department. The information regarding staff reflects the position at the end of Quarter 2 2010, the most recently available data.
Table 2 sets out the staffing composition of the self funded agencies. Information is currently being compiled in relation to three agencies- the Adoption Authority, Office of the Ombudsman for Children and Office of the Disability Appeals Officer. This will be forwarded directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
