The information requested by the Deputy is set out in Tables 1 to 7. Information in relation to Grades in the Civil Service is sourced from the Civil Service Staff information Portal (CSSIP) and is presented on a whole time equivalent (w.t.e.) basis for Quarter 4 2010. Information for industrial civil servants is presented for Quarter 3 of 2010. Information on the numbers of employees and grades in the wider public service is presented on a Functional Classification basis and is based on information supplied to my Department. This information is sourced from the Public Service Staff Information Portal (PSSIP) and is presented on a whole time equivalent (w.t.e.) basis for Quarter 3 2010. The Q4 2010 figures are currently being compiled and will be available 30 days after the end of quarter.
The grade information is collected in line with the prevailing grade structure in each sector. Given the multitude of grades that exist within the non-commercial state sector, Departments supply information on the numbers employed, broken down by salary band. More detailed information in relation to the grade structures in individual offices or agencies should be sought from the relevant Minister.

Question 191: To ask the Minister for Finance the number of public sector places made vacant by maternity or other leave that have not been filled since the implementation of the embargo on recruitment and overtime; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3418/11]
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

The overall level of staffing in my Department is determined within the context of the current moratorium on staffing levels with particular regard to the Employment Control Framework for the Department, which includes the ceilings for serving staff numbers for the four-year period 2011-2014. In relation to maternity and other forms of leave, the normal practice would, where appropriate, be that such vacancies may be filled from within existing resources by way of reassignment from lower priority areas within the Department.

Question 192: To ask the Minister for Finance the proportion of office administrators to front-line staff in the public sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3419/11]
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
Link to this: Individually | In context
My Department is a central policy Department, responsible for advising and supporting the government on the economic and financial management of the state and the overall management of the public sector. As such, the distinction between office administrators and front-line staff would not be appropriate to the functions of the Department.
