My Department has no public sector workers employed on temporary or non-permanent contracts. There are three statutory posts where the current incumbents would have fixed term contracts with the Department. These are in the Labour Court and the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement.

In replying, I have excluded those staff whose assignments in the Department are directly linked to my term of office as Minister, or the term of office of the two Ministers of State assigned to the Department.
