Vol. 4 No. 16

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - TEMPORARY CIVIL SERVANTS.

asked the Minister for Finance, in view of the forthcoming Civil Service Commission Bill, what consideration, if any, is to be given men at present holding temporary clerical appointments, who repeatedly volunteered for service with the Army, but whose applications were turned down on the ground that their enlistment would lead to a dislocation of the public services, and who were requested to remain where their services were most needed; whether such men will be granted facilities in examination similar to those on active service, or will they be absorbed on the establishment of their respective departments.

The forthcoming examination for posts in the Customs and Excise Service is limited to officers and men of the Army, and I am not prepared to remove that limitation.

The question of the preference if any to be given to temporary clerical employees of Government Departments in future Civil Service Examinations is one for the consideration of the Civil Service Commissioners under Clause 4 of the Civil Service Regulation Bill.
