My Department has a small regional office in Mullingar and therefore it is unlikely that too many vacancies will arise at Executive Officer level in the immediate future. However, two of our three main offices are located nearby in Tullamore and Athlone. Vacancies for administrative grades in my department are filled through the Public Appointments Service (PAS) recruitment process, so should a vacancy arise in Tullamore or Athlone we will fill these vacancies from PAS panels, where available. Existing civil servants at executive officer grade who wish to seek positions in other locations at their present grade should apply under the Civil Service Mobility Scheme which comes under the remit of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, and is administered through HR Shared Services.
