Employment status of census staff

Summary

O'Connell asked how many census recruits were already employed and how many worked in the Civil Service; the Minister gave a total of 122 full-time workers and offered to obtain the Civil Service figure if available.

The Minister stated that preference would be given to those on UB/UA, but how many people in existing employment were taken on for this work?

There are a number of Private Notice Questions down, there is a confined debate, and we should get on with the business.
