There were eight civil servants on career break from my Department on 1st July 2013, at the time of the Haddington Road Agreement.  Three of these are not yet due to return based on their career break contracts; two were offered and have since availed of suitable redeployment opportunities; two are currently on the redeployment panel awaiting an offer and one has terminated their employment. No staff are accommodated in my Department in supernumerary positions after being on redeployment lists of over one year.  

In respect of public servants and semi state employees I have asked the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide the Deputy with the information requested.  If you do not receive a reply from the agencies within 10 working days please advise my private office.
