Conservation Rangers are deployed through a regional structure. There are currently two Conservation Rangers based in County Tipperary, and their assignments are determined in light of Departmental business needs and priorities. Staffing levels across my Department are kept under regular review in line with emerging business needs and Government policy on public sector pay and staffing as advised by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
