My Department is committed to ensuring that a skilled workforce is in place to meet its priority business needs.

As business needs arise, staff are allocated to support organisational priorities within my Department. Overall staffing levels and required skills are continually monitored to ensure business needs are met, subject to the limits of the annual estimates process, the usual budgetary constraints and approvals by the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan, Delivery and Reform.

My Department generally avails of the legal services of the Chief State Solicitor's Office along with those provided by its own Legal Services Division.
