1345. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of clerical officers and clerical assistants in her Department on temporary contracts by years of service; if these officers will be offered permanent positions in the Civil Service when they have served a fixed period; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16424/18]
View answerMy Department currently employs four temporary clerical officers (TCO's) who came from the Public Appointments Service (PAS) Temporary Clerical Officer panel in May, June July and October 2016 respectively. All four TCO's have been provided with contracts to undertake specified project work, on completion of which, their services will no longer be required.
Permanent clerical officer positions in this Department are filled through the clerical officer competitions run by PAS.
