Vol. 442 No. 2
109 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment the number of applications received for the position of driver tester; the number of applicants who remained after each stage of the recruitment process; when appointments are expected to be made; and the number of appointments that will be made.
I understand that the Civil Service Commissioners, who are conducting the competition for the appointment of driver testers, received 642 applications in all. No specific information about the competition is available to me, but I understand that it is still ongoing. The intention is that a panel will be established from which appointments will be made as the need arises.
