The number of WTE qualified Archaeologists directly employed by my Department for the years requested is set out in the table below.

| Senior Archaeologist | 5.00 | 6.00 |

An Archaeologist competition is underway with Public Appointments Service (PAS) and the recruitment is at an advanced stage. My Department is currently liaising with PAS regarding this competition.
Staffing levels across my Department are kept under regular review in line with emerging business needs and Government policy on public sector pay and staffing as advised by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
