I propose to take Questions Nos. 1009 and 1010 together.
The Department of Rural and Community Development was established in July 2017. The Department does not have a Broadband Support Unit, however, I can confirm that the Regional Telecommunications Development Unit had a total of 7 staff in 2017, 6 staff in 2018, and has 6 staff for 2019 as outlined in the table.
Principal Officer | Assistant Principal | Higher Executive Officer | Executive Officer | Clerical Officer | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2017 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
2018 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | |
2019 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
In 2019 the annual funding allocated to the unit is: current funding of €1.7 million, and capital funding of €0.7 million.
