Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2022
860. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there will be a recruitment campaign for technical agricultural officers in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5070/22]
View answerThe most recent Technical Agricultural Officer (TAO) recruitment campaign was advertised on 24th July 2020 by the Public Appointments Service on behalf of the Department.
A significant number of appointments have been made from the panels created for each county and it is envisaged that those panels will continue to give rise to further appointments throughout much of 2022.
While there are no immediate plans for a new TAO recruitment campaign, it is likely that a new campaign will be organised towards the end of 2022 or early 2023.
