230. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if, in view of the recent statement by the UN Commission on the Status of Women, he will commit to publishing data on gender segregation within our local authorities on a regular basis; the details of a gender breakdown of employees at each grade (details supplied) for each of 31 local authorities, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department gathers quarterly data on staff numbers in local authorities. The data gathered does not provide detail on gender breakdown. My Department will however, be working with the sector to collect the data with a view to publishing the figures later this year and on an annual basis thereafter.
