View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate it is not possible for me to provide the information sought as the records may not exist. Applications received for recruitment purposes either by the Department or its agencies , which might contain details of previous employment history, are only held for an appropriate period of time. The information provided by applicants is required for the specific purpose of recruitment and in line with GDPR cannot be maintained for other purposes with the exception of public service pension compliance and membership.
