The information requested pertains to operational matters within individual State bodies and, as such, it is not available in my Department.
However, in line with the ‘Protocol for the Provision of Information to Members of the Oireachtas by State Bodies under the aegis of Government Departments/Offices’, my Department ensures that all relevant State bodies are aware of the requirement to facilitate provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas.
A full list of the State bodies under the aegis of my Department is set out in the table below. The specific information requested can be sought by contacting the State bodies directly at the dedicated email addresses listed below.
