There was a significant change in the staffing levels in the Department from 2010 to 2011. The end 2011 figures reflect structural changes that occurred in May 2011 with the transfer of the heritage function to the new Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the transfer of community functions to my Department.

My Department does not have information on the staffing levels of other Government Departments.
