Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
272. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Finance the number of clerical officers and clerical assistants in his 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 of time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16430/18]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that under a restructuring agreement in 1997 the Clerical Assistant Grade was abolished.
The Department of Finance currently has one Clerical Officer on a temporary contract since February, 2018. This assignment is for a specific period of time and it is not anticipated that the officer's contract will be extended as the work of the Unit is being transferred to the National Shared Services Office later this year.
