View answerThe table below sets out the number of vacancies that arose in my Department, by month and by grade throughout 2023 and 2024. Any vacancies that arise are filled as soon as possible, either through the Civil Service mobility scheme, on appointment from the Public Appointments Service or alternatively, through an internal promotion process. Staffing in support of the Army Pensions Board is drawn from my Department. For completeness, the administration staff of the Office of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces and the External Oversight Body of the Defence Forces have also been included in the table.
