Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each Chief Executive is responsible for staffing and organisation arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible.
My Department gathers quarterly data on staff numbers in local authorities and the number employed in Dublin City Council, on a whole time equivalent basis, at the end of September 2016 was 5,295. The data gathered focuses on broad numbers relating to employees, and is not broken down by department and area. Accordingly, the information requested is not available in my Department.
