Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2023
152. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence if his Department will examine an issue in relation to persons working as civilians within the Defence Forces (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31168/23]
View answerThe competition to which the Deputy refers was a nationwide recruitment competition for the position of Civilian Clerk in the Defence Forces. This external competition was open to applications from the public. The competition was advertised through the Public Appointment Service and was run in accordance with normal public service procedures and all appointments are made in line with those procedures. My Department is committed to fair and equitable recruitment.
As the appointment process is still ongoing and has not yet reached a conclusion, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on individual assignments.
