As the Deputy will appreciate, universities are autonomous institutions within the meaning of the Universities Act 1997. As such, individual institutions are responsible for staffing matters, including the management of vacant lecturing positions.
As Minister, I rightly have no direct role in that regard, and, accordingly, my Department does not collect nor have access to the data requested by the Deputy.
