590. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a county registrar will be appointed in County Westmeath; and if the person appointed will deal only with County Westmeath. [37233/17]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware, that I approved a proposal to fill the County Registrar vacancy in County Westmeath and that one County Registrar would be appointed to cover both Meath and Westmeath. A recruitment competition was conducted by the Public Appointments Service and it subsequently identified persons for recommendation to Government for appointment as County Registrar for Meath and Westmeath. The Government has made its decision and I understand that the person concerned is due to commence in the role shortly.
