Written answers

I am advised by Revenue that in the period from January 2015 to date, there were 44 Revenue assignments to Assistant Principal posts in County Limerick. This included 15 from Public Appointments Service or Revenue open competitions; 2 from Interdepartmental competition; 16 from Revenue internal promotion competitions; 10 on transfer from other geographic locations; and 1 on resumption following a career break.

Revenue continually adapts, realigning its structure to optimise the alignment of its resources to risk while maximising the benefit of its geographic footprint and providing diverse career opportunities across the organisation. During 2018, Revenue realigned its organisational structure, moving from a regional structure to one that is based on a nationally segmented taxpayer base. The profile of Assistant Principal assignments from January 2015 to date in Limerick county, by reference to Region/Division and office location is as follows:
