Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Justice

Last October, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform sanctioned the recruitment of the CEO Designate of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, and the process is now well underway. 

The Public Appointments Service, in conjunction with an Executive Search Agency, is managing the recruitment, applications for which have now closed.  It will be done in line with its normal interview processes, including confidentiality. 

The start date and on boarding process for the new CEO Designate will be determined once the successful candidate has been identified.
