In response to the Deputy's question no non-governmental organisations or quangos are in receipt of remuneration from my Department. Grants-in- Aid are provided to both the ESRI and the IPA and details of the amounts paid to each can be found in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) which is published annually. As at 31 May, 2012 there were 310 staff on the payroll in my Department. The current number of staff is under the limit permitted under the Employment Control Framework for my Department. 23 staff have retired since my Department was established in July of last year and are in receipt of pensions which are paid from the Superannuation Vote which is under the remit of my Department. The details as requested by the Deputy are summarised hereunder.
