Operational matters relating to An Bord Bia are the responsibility of the board of An Bord Bia and my own Department has responsibility in relation to policy matters. I understand from An Bord Bia that the number of people (full-time equivalent) currently employed by An Bord Bia is 92.8 representing a reduction of 11.5 since 2009. Some 5.5 vacancies were not filled in 2009, a further five in 2010 and one in 2011. Bord Bia is close to reaching its Employment Control Framework target of 91 posts by the end of 2011.
