The information requested is contained in the following table. Staffing levels for 2008 are available only from end 2008. For consistency, successive years are also based on end-of- year staffing levels. It should be noted that the amalgamation of Limerick City and County Councils, Waterford City and County Councils and South and North Tipperary County Councils took place during the time period specified.
