This is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners. I am advised by the Commissioners that they are currently conducting an internal competition for promotion to Executive Officer. Stage 1 of this competition involved online testing of verbal and numerical reasoning. This stage was used to produce a shortlist for an interview to determine suitability for promotion.
The Civil Public and Services Union (CPSU) raised an issue with Revenue of a potential isolated incident of advance access to the tests in stage 1. Revenue takes this matter very seriously and a full investigation has been launched. Revenue has also requested the Commission for Public Service Appointments to undertake an audit of this competition on its completion.
