Written Answers. - Agriculture Appeals Board.

Pat Breen

Ceist:

243 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the composition of each interview board for the recruitment of staff to the independent agriculture appeals board; the grade and area of work responsibility of any official from his Department who sat on these boards; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20163/02]

The post of Director of the Agriculture Appeals Office was selected through a Civil Service Commission competition.

The appeals officer posts were filled by means of competitive interviews that were conducted by the Director of this office and a senior inspector from the integrated controls inspectorate division of my Department.

The higher executive officer was appointed by means of an internal transfer system and the two clerical officers were appointed through the central transfer scheme that operates across all Departments.
