Section 12 of the Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act 2004 provides that the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA) shall comprise 5 ex-Officio members, namely
- An Ceann Comhairle,
- the Secretary General to the Government,
- the Secretary General to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform,
- the Chairperson of the Standards in Public Office Commission and
- the Ombudsman
The Office of the CPSA has now merged with the Office of the Ombudsman following the enactment of the Ombudsman Amendment Act 2012 and this Act provides that the Director General at the Office of the Ombudsman shall also be the Director to the Office of the CPSA.
As such I have not appointed a director to the CPSA or the Office of the CPSA.
