Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
373. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of administrative officers recruited to the public service since March 2011 on an annual basis, with a breakdown of the Departments in which the AOs have been assigned. [34783/14]
View answerCompetitions to select candidates for appointment to posts as Administrative Officers in the Civil Service took place in 2012 and 2013. In 2012 there were six specialist streams - Banking and Finance; Tax Policy; Law; Human Resources; Economics; and Accountancy. In 2013 there were five streams with no recruitment to Accountancy from the 2013 competition. The following tables set out details of appointments from the 2012 and 2013 competitions. No competition was held in 2011.
The figures provided are for the Civil Service only as my Department does not track the number of graduate recruits in other areas of the public services.
2013 Administrative Officer Competition To date a total of 56 assignments have been made from the 2013 competition, all of which were to Dublin based posts.
