Public and Civil Service numbers at end-June 2012 are currently being compiled by my Department and I will ensure that the information sought on numbers and grade breakdown is forwarded to the Deputy when this process is complete. I would also advise the Deputy that information on Public Service numbers on a Vote Group and sectoral basis is also available on my Department's website at http://databank.per.gov.ie/.

With regard to the issue of pay, the estimated Gross Exchequer Pay Bill for this year is €15.4bn. The Civil Service accounts for around €1.7bn of this.
