Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
351. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of full-time equivalent and part-time equivalent roles filled by his Department of posts at principal officer, assistant principal officer, higher executive officer, executive officer and clerical officer grades for the past five years; the cost to the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35490/20]
View answerThe table below provides the details requested by the Deputy on roles filled through Open Competition, Inter Departmental Competition, Confined Competition and Mobility on an annual basis from 2016 to 2020 (to date). I wish to advise the Deputy that an estimated salary cost to the exchequer has been provided and, as clarified by the Deputy, details for generalist grades only.
All posts recruited by my Department are on a full-time basis. The Civil Service is an equal opportunities employer and a leader in the range of flexible working opportunities offered to staff. There are many schemes available to men and women to support them in achieving a good work life balance, including a wide variety of work-sharing patterns and the Shorter Working Year Scheme.
