I propose to take Questions Nos. 188 and 190 together.

There are currently 17.33 whole time equivalent (wte) staff employed in the Human Resources (HR) Unit of my Department across three locations, namely Athlone, Dublin and Tullamore. Of these, there are currently 3 wte staff on maternity/long-term sick leave.
