Written Answers. - Departmental Staff.
There is a vacancy at supervisory agricultural officer level to be filled in the farm development service office in Killarney, County Kerry. This vacancy arose as a result of the promotion of the supervisory agricultural officer who was headquartered at that office and his consequential transfer on promotion to another work area. My Department is making arrangements for the filling of this vacancy and it is expected that an officer will be assigned to this post shortly.
