ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th NOVEMBER 025
Question
"Will the Minister state the current number of consultants and agency staff employed in his department, and will he advise whether this number has increased, decreased, or remained the same since he was appointed?"
Answer
The department currently engages two consultants, each working a limited number of days over a defined period, and two contingent labour staff – one of whom is contracted until December 2025, and the other until March 2026 (front-line).
Overall figures for agency staff recruitment over the past two academic years follow, most recently updated at the end of September. These show a reduction in 2024/25 from the previous academic year.
Agency Recruited | 2023/2024 | 2024/2025 |
Teachers/ Support Staff/ Admin | 21 | 16 |
Spending in the first 10 months of 2025 on agency staff of all types, has reduced by 42% compared with the same period of 2024.
