NOTES:—(1) In the cases of Miss Bell and Mrs. Ennis the Civil Service Commissioners made orders under Section 5 of the Civil Service Commissioners Act, 1956, declaring each of the unestablished positions in questions to be an "excluded position" for the purposes of that Act.
(2) The posts of Temporary Female Cleaner and Temporary Firelighter are "scheduled occupations" for the purposes of the Civil Service Commissioners Act, 1956. Such posts are normally filled by direct recruitment by the Government Department concerned and not through the Civil Service Commission.
(3) There are no allowances or other payments, apart from salary or wages, attaching to any of the posts.
