I propose to take Questions Nos. 619 and 627 together.

My Department is currently subject to the moratorium on public service recruitment. However, the staffing requirements in the areas referred to by the Deputy, as with all other areas of my Department, will remain the subject of ongoing consideration in light of the overall business needs and within the pay framework approved for 2015.
