Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

I propose to take Questions Nos. 648 and 649 together.

There were a number of appointments as a result of internal Principal Officer competitions in my Department since 7 July 2015. In addition to these appointments there were further appointments from the 2015 open Principal Officer competitions run by the Public Appointments Service, as well as some filling of PO posts through external mobility. Principal Officer posts are assigned over time in accordance with the sequencing arrangements agreed centrally through the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. A breakdown of the appointments made through the competitions referred to is included in the following table.

Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government	2015	2016	2017	2018
