Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2011
29 Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) who was offered a head to head transfer to his Department; if this transfer will be facilitated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38443/11]
View answerHead to Head transfers are permitted between provincial locations when both transferees are the most senior on the Central Transfer list and/or the Central Applications Facility (CAF) in their own location. Both Departments and both applicants must agree to the transfer. The Department (details supplied) approached my Department to facilitate a head to head transfer for their staff member. There were two people on the list in my Department. The usual transfer papers were exchanged and unfortunately for a variety of reasons the head to head transfers were not considered possible. Therefore no offer of a transfer was made to any person by either Department.
