Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2015
85. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform where the 2015 graduate recruitment posts in the Civil Service will be located; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33771/15]
View answerThe 2015 civil service graduate recruitment competitions have just been launched by the Public Appointments Service. It is currently expected that over 200 roles will be filled in the civil service, in roles such as Third Secretaries, Administrative Officers, graduate economists and trainee auditors.
The specific location of these positions will be determined once the panel is established on the basis of requests made by Departments/Offices for assignments from that panel. Given such factors as, for example, the training requirements that arise for newly appointed personnel, it would be expected that the positions will largely be filled in the Dublin region. Although after a period of time, successful candidates may be posted to roles elsewhere in the State in line with service needs or to positions abroad in the diplomatic service.
