325. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if the positions of the CEO at Enterprise Ireland and the Industrial Development Agency were advertised and in which publications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2848/14]
View answerThe position of Chief Executive Officer at Enterprise Ireland was advertised by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) on its website www.publicjobs.ie. The advertisement was also published in the Irish Times on 24 May 2013 and in the Sunday Times on 26 May 2013. Julie Sinnamon was appointed to the position on 29 August 2013 following a competitive selection process undertaken by PAS.
The position of Chief Executive Officer of IDA Ireland has not yet become vacant. The current CEO, Barry O’Leary, has indicated his intention to step down from the post during the course of 2014. Accordingly, a process will be put in place to ensure that a suitable successor to Mr. O’Leary is recruited and appointed.
