There are currently requests on hand from three agencies under the aegis of my Department for 208 additional public service staff.  These requests are being evaluated by my Department in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

The staffing levels in my Department are kept under ongoing review in the context of workforce planning.

Sanction to increase pay budgets must be granted by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
