Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2023
255. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 55 of 28 June 2023, if he will provide a full list of commercial State agencies associated line Department; the total number of employees and the Exchequer allocation for 2022 and 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32718/23]
View answerA register of Public Sector Bodies is published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This lists all organisations in the State which are considered to be in the general government sector for the purposes of preparing Government Finance Statistics (GFS) and Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP) reporting for Ireland. It also lists organisations which, while under public control, are not part of the general government sector.
The 2022 version is still provisional and is available online at www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-rpbi/registerofpublicsectorbodies2022-provisional/. A full list of all included entities and associated Department/Organisational Body can be downloaded.
As Commercial State Agency employees are not public servants we do not collect the number of employees in these bodies. Individual Departments are better placed to provide the Deputy with more detailed information needed on agencies/bodies under their aegis.
