Eamon Gilmore
Question:14 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Finance the reason applicants for the position of clerical assistant in the Civil Service are required to provide themselves with typewriters for typewriting tests; if, in light of the difficulties which this can produce for candidates from low income families, who may have to hire a typewriter and a taxi to take it to the examination centre, he will reconsider this regulation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
