I propose to take Questions Nos. 385, 386 and 388 together.

My reply relates to the Civil Service and to the number of state industrial and public service staff employed within the remit of the Minister for  Public Expenditure and Reform.

The total number of civil servants, on a full-equivalent (FTE) or headcount basis employed in County Clare in each of the years ending 31 December 2016 to 2021 is set out in the following table. This data does not include the small number of civil service state industrial employees or civil servants who are primarily working abroad.  Data relating to the number of civil servants, categorised by local electoral areas, is not available.

A breakdown of the public service employees, including state industrial employees, by geographic or local electoral areas is not available on public service IT systems accessible by my Department.

However, there are no public service employees under the remit of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform employed in Co Clare.  I am informed of the following numbers of state industrial staff employed by OPW in Co Clare, the only office under the auspices of my Department, with state industrial staff, for each of the years in question. These figures relate to end -September each year when the figures are at their highest due to seasonal staff.

I understand that the appropriate Departments will respond separately in respect of the sectors under their remit.
