This person was an unsuccessful applicant for a position in Kilkenny Castle last August. His interest in future vacancies in Kilkenny will be noted. These positions are normally filled by reference to direct applications to my Department and to nominees supplied by FÁS. All positions in Kilkenny Castle are filled, but my Department will be happy to hear from potential applicants for future vacancies – Industrial Personnel Division, Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands, 6 Upper Ely Place, Dublin, 2, telephone No. 6473000. Intending applicants should also register their interest in such employment with FÁS. I should add that employment in the Office of Public Works does not come within the remit of my Department.
