I wish to inform the Deputy that the current average age of permanent staff employed within my Department at end June 2015 was 43.6. The average age of staff in 2008 and 2011 is contained in the following table.
| Year | Average Age |
|---|---|
| 2008 | 44.5 |
| 2011 | 44.6 |
| 2015 | 43.6 |
From 2012 to 2014 the Department has recruited 87 staff with specific high level qualifications and experience. To date in 2015 26 staff have been recruited. Together with the retirement/resignation of 49 staff, this has reduced the average age of current staff to 43.6.
With regard to the agencies under my Department's remit, see the following.
