Willie O'Dea

Question:

53. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence when a person (details supplied) will be appointed to a position in barracks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50045/18]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Defence

Approval has been granted, for the person to whom the Deputy refers, to assume the role of Barrack Foreman of Works on an acting up basis, with effect from July 2018. This sanction does not constitute an appointment to the position on a substantive basis. This was advised to military management by my Department. Substantive appointments would only arise following completion of a competition for Barrack Foreman of Works.
