My Department has offices located in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. There are no offices of my Department located in Co. Laois.
In most cases recruitment to vacancies arising in clerical posts in the Tullamore office is done by reference to the agreed sequence of appointment, ie Department of Agriculture Surplus, Central Transfer List or Public Appointments Service panel for the location.
There is a central agreement which sets out the sequence for the filling of vacancies which arise when an officer serving in this office transfers to another location specifically under the programme of decentralisation. Where the vacancy arises in this way the sequence for filling is:
1. Department of Agriculture Surplus.
2. Central Application Facility (CAF) applicants for the location.
3. Central Transfer List / Public Appointments Service panel for the location (as appropriate).
