The following table provided with this reply provides information on civil servants employed on a country-by-county basis up to the end of September 2016, and for each year from 2006 through to 2011, on a full time equivalent basis.

For the public service as a whole, individual level data - such as relating to location - is not held centrally by Department rather it resides as part of the individual employee data record held and maintained in different sectors of the public service.  The Deputy may wish to follow-up with the main sectorial Departments, such as Health, Education, Defence and Justice to ascertain the availability of this information in each case.

I also refer the Deputy to my Department's online resource , which provides further information on public service staffing levels.
