As the Deputy will be aware, my Department is subject to the Moratorium on Public Sector recruitment. The position in relation to the employment of permanent staff by my Department during the period July 2013 to December 2014 is summarised in the table below. Ministerial appointments, annual seasonal staff or staff taken on contract are not included.
Period | No. of staff recruited | Gross annual salary cost €000's |
---|---|---|
Jul 2013 –Dec 213 | 1 | 71 |
Jan – Aug 2014 | 2 | 102 |
Total | 3 | 173 |
There are no definitive proposals at present for further recruitment of permanent staff in the remainder of 2014, 2015 or 2016, but these matters are kept under constant review in light of evolving business needs.
For the sake of completeness, I should add that the position of Director of the National Archives has been advertised by the Public Appointment Service and it is expected that a new Director will be appointed before the end of this year.
