The cost to the Exchequer for the provision of agency staff in my Department from March 2011 to date is €960,628 of which €4,189 has yet to be paid. The services provided by these staff were primarily I.T. related. The cost of agency staff in State Agencies is a matter for the agencies themselves. I will forward the Question to the agencies under the remit of my Department for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply within 10 working days please contact my private office.
