I understand that the Deputy is referring to open recruitment to the civil service, and in that regard, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that during the period 1 March 2011 to 12 September 2014 a total of 178 new appointments were made to Revenue following open competition The appointments were made under sanction from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, and within Revenue's Employment Control Framework and Budget. They are additional to reassignments following redeployment and internal promotion competitions. For completeness, the Deputy may wish no note that approximately 40% of the successful candidates were already Revenue Commissioner's staff. The appointments were required to fill critical posts in a number of areas including audit, investigation, compliance and information technology. The following table provides the grade breakdown:
