Persons who were former State employees may be included amongst those recruited from time to time on temporary survey work since applicants for this work are generally nominated by FÁS and appointed following competitive interview.

While the Central Statistics Office is aware that some former State employees were engaged on temporary survey work since 1989 the specific information requested is not available.
