View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 97 and 98 together.
I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department and the Agencies under its remit use the services of the State's independent recruitment office, the Public Appointments Service, to the maximum extent possible.
However, in order to deliver the business of the organisation, it is occasionally necessary for my Department and its Agencies to engage the services of external recruitment or employment agencies. The following table contain the relevant details as of 17 May 2017.
