I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 to 83, inclusive, together.

While there are no agency workers working in my Department, my Department is currently availing of a contract cleaning service as a temporary, emergency measure to ensure that service levels in my Department are maintained while a recruitment process for additional cleaning staff is undertaken.

There are no agency workers working in the National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) - the only body under the aegis of my Department.

Neither my Department nor NESDO have contracted any consultants for work completed or investigations undertaken in HR and industrial relations.
