The information sought by the Deputy is available from 2002 when the Department of Transport was formed. The total full time staff equivalent in the Department at 31st December each year was 551 in 2002, 511 in 2005 and 495.5 in 2010. The numbers and detail by grade are shown in respect of 2005 and 2010 in the attached table.
There were a number of changes within the Department between 2005 and 2010 due to the establishment of the Road Safety Authority and the Railway Safety Commission, which reduced numbers, and the transfer of functions into the Department relating to roads planning and maritime safety, which increased numbers. There were substantial reductions in 2009 and 2010 due primarily to incentivised early retirements, incentivised career break schemes and latterly due to staff redeployment to other Departments.
