I wish to advise the Deputy that there are no staff of the nature specified in this question employed by my Department.

With the exception of the Office of Public Works (OPW), this is also the case for the bodies under the aegis of my Department. The information with regard to the OPW is set out in the table below.

Professional Detail Number of Staff
Engineers (Flood Engineers that work on flood relief and drainage and coastal projects, Civil and Structural, Assistant Chief Engineers) 130
Architect 52
Senior Architect 37
Quantity Surveyor (includes Principal Quantity Surveyor) 10
Assistant Principal Architect 5
