In terms filling these posts my Department is dependent on a number of factors, including the pipeline of resources available from the Public Appointments Service, the recruitment campaigns and panels established being in place to meet current and anticipated future demands and the suitability and skills match for each post. When candidates are assigned from the Public Appointments Service my Department prioritises which posts are required to be filled first in order to meet critical business needs.
The estimated full year cost of filling each of the vacancies is based on the average remuneration applicable by grade. The estimated cost to fill the combined 18 posts is €918,278.
