As the Deputy will be aware, the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was established on 2 June 2011 and the collation of information for the purposes of replying to the Deputy's Question relates to that timeframe only. I can advise the Deputy that my Department has placed no advertisements in national newspapers for job vacancies during the period in question.

In relation to the bodies funded from the Department's Vote, the details sought by the Deputy, as advised to my Department, are set out in the table. It may be noted that in the case of the North South bodies, advertisements were placed in both jurisdictions - North and South.
