I am advised by my Department that the information on the number of staff who entered the civil service during the period in question is being replied to by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

In respect of recruitment to other areas of the Justice sector I am informed that since 2014 a total of 851 Garda trainees have been recruited broken down as follows: 200 in 2014, 350 in 2015 and 301 so far this year. It is expected that there will be further recruitment scheduled for September and November of this year. This will bring the number of new recruits to 1,150 by the end of 2016.

In respect of the Irish Prison Service there has been recruitment at the following grades since 1 January 2011:

I can advise the Deputy that all new recruits are typically appointed on a whole time equivalent work pattern.
