That's according to the Dept. of Social Protection.
There's been a year-on-year reduction in the number of staff at Kildare's INTREO offices.
Data from the Dept. of Social Protection shows that 86 staff worked across 4 offices in December 2019.
The Celbridge office closed in 2019, and its workload transferred to Maynooth.
By June of this year, that had fallen to 85 whole-time-equivalent staff.
The majority of staff, at 68, are stationed in Newbridge.
