Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA) is an independent statutory body and as such I have no role in the setting of its review procedures. My Department has been informed, however, that following the recent judgement on a Judicial Review case relating to, inter alia, the review procedures available under its Codes of Practice, the Commission has no plans to make any changes to its current published review procedures.
