I propose to take Questions Nos. 1679 and 1680 together.
Since the establishment of my department in June, 2011, I can confirm that the annual percentage of public service staff that were women in each of the years 2012 to 2016 and to date in 2017, is as follows:
| Year | No. of Employees | Female | % of Employees that are Female |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 227 | 142 | 63% |
| 2016 | 188 | 123 | 65% |
| 2015 | 162 | 106 | 65% |
| 2014 | 158 | 106 | 64% |
| 2013 | 150 | 99 | 66% |
| 2012 | 144 | 95 | 66% |
With regard to the four agencies under the aegis of my Department, I can confirm matters are as follows;

Office of the Ombudsman for Children
As the Office of the Ombudsman for Children is independent in its function and reports to the Oireachtas on matters within its remit, as required by the Ombudsman for Children Act 2002, I have forwarded the question to the Office of the Ombudsman for Children and asked that they reply directly to you.
