While the Higher Education Authority (HEA) routinely gathers information on staffing levels in the institutes of technology, it does not currently compile information on a headcount basis. As part of its "Data and Knowledge Management Strategy for Higher Education 2015-2018", the HEA has committed to the development of a staff database for the higher education sector which will expand on information available under the current reporting requirements for the sector.

However, the information set out below, from December 2014, does breakdown academic staff numbers in the institutes of technology between full-time, pro rata part-time and casual part-time staff, and between those on permanent contracts, contracts of indefinite duration and fixed term/temporary contracts.
