Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

Positions for the Category Specialist Higher Open competition, which was run by the Public Appointments Service are location specific and are awarded by order of merit. I understand that the individual concerned has been in contact with the HR Unit in my Department and any further queries in relation to this matter should be followed up by the individual with them accordingly.
