Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of staff working in (i) major projects and procurement; and (ii) networking services, broken down by grade, in each of the last five years.


Answer:
I understand that the Member’s question relates to two directorates within my Department, our Major Projects Directorate and our Network Services Directorate.
The Major Projects Directorate was established on 1 August 2019 and information is not therefore available for the full five year period.  For the Network Services Directorate, the information is available for the 5 year period requested. The information that is available is provided in the table below:
