670. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of staff within his Department who availed of a secondment from January 2019 to date on the basis that it was not the intention of the staff member to return to his or her position within the Department. [20645/22]
View answerSeven staff are currently seconded from my Department to other organisations. To the best of my knowledge none of these staff took up these seconded roles on the basis that it was not their intention to return to their position within the Department.
While different conditions can apply to individual secondments, depending on their particular circumstances, my Department is guided by the advice issued to all Government Departments by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to secondments, which is available at the following link - hr.per.gov.ie/en/corporate-pages/career/mobility/secondment/.
