152. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Transport the number of WTE staff, by job title currently, working within the marketing department of CIE. [67076/26]

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter regarding Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) staff in CIÉ Holding Company; I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
