I propose to take Questions Nos. 473, 478 and 486 together.

As a result of my Department's Local Office Reorganisation in 2009, a number of local office staff were identified as surplus. A large number of these were redeployed to other Government Departments through bilateral arrangements. Details of 61 of these officers (administrative grades) have been placed on the Public Appointments Service Resource Panel in June 2011 as no suitable arrangements could be made for them.

The information in respect of the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the bodies themselves.
