Information on the number of agency staff employed in the public sector is not reported to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. However, I should point out that the employment of agency staff would be subject to the terms of the public service moratorium on recruitment. Details of numbers of agency staff should be sought from individual Departments. In relation to my own Department no agency staff are employed.
