Would the Minister say what was the reduction in Civil Service staff for 1984 because of the implementation of the embargo?

I agree with Deputy Haughey. I am not in a position to give a figure specifically for this year alone but the total number of posts which have been affected by the embargo since 1981 is 2,650.
