Written answers

Sanction was sought from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER) by my Department on 27th February 2012 to enhance staff deployment to assist with EU presidency preparations. Sanction was given to my Department on 24th July 2012 for temporary promotions (as set out in tabular format below) from within my Department’s existing resources to assist my Department’s Trade Policy and EU Sections in the co-ordination and management of key aspects of logistics and information gathering for policy development and synthesis for hosting of the EU Presidency.

This is in addition to eight officials of my Department on temporary secondment in their substantive grades, to the Department of Foreign Affairs to the Permanent Representations in Brussels and Geneva for the period of the EU presidency.
