* Includes eligible former CWS and FÁS staff
In accordance with arbitration findings, my Department is to establish panels for promotion to the grades from Staff Officer to Assistant Principal in respect of eligible staff who transferred to my Department from the Community Welfare Service of the Health Service Executive and the Employment Services of FÁS. These panels will run in parallel to the existing panels detailed above and staff will be promoted according to the ratios agreed.
In this regard the panels for promotion to the grade of Higher Executive Officer have been established. A total of 13 eligible staff participated in the competition, with six former CWS staff and seven former FÁS staff being placed on the respective panels. To date none of these staff have been promoted. Plans are to hold the remaining competitions are underway.
