Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
768. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the steps his Department intend to take to ensure semi-State bodies and other organisations and bodies under the remit of his Department advertise vacant positions through the Public Appointments Service and publicjobs.ie that is in a clear and transparent manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39250/13]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that the Public Appointments Service already advertises a large number of public service posts on publicjobs.ie. While the filling of sanctioned vacancies in bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group is generally a matter for the individual organisations and boards concerned, my Department's clear policy is to require the use of the publicjobs.ie as part of the recruitment strategy for any such vacancies.
