Comment on this
As the information required by the Deputies is in the form of a tabular statement, it is proposed, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
Department of the Public Service recruitment during the period 1 January 1973 to 31 December, 1976.
For the purpose of this reply, the term "employed" has been taken to mean "recruited".
Column (a): Total numbers recruited.
Column (b): Numbers recruited otherwise than by public competition.
(These were mainly part-time language teachers, messenger and cleaning staff and consultants).
Civil Service Commission
Column (a): Total numbers recruited.
