I propose to take Questions Nos. 500, 508 and 509 together.

Redeployment allows staff to be moved as a result of the rationalisation, reconfiguration or restructuring of public service bodies or where activities have assumed lesser priority arising from changing business needs. Similarly, where an organisation has posts in excess of its Employment Control limits, or has other budgetary or business reasons to redeploy staff, it must identify the number of posts at the different grade levels that will need to be redeployed. None of these situations currently pertain to my Department nor any agencies under the aegis of my Department. As a result, there are no surplus staff waiting for redeployment.
