John Gormley

Ceist:

143 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food his views on the feedback from graduates in agricultural science at the view expressed by an assessment board, charged with recruiting for his Department, that an applicant with a PhD in agriculture did not show a sufficiently broad range of relevant knowledge of Irish agriculture; his further views on whether there is a danger that agricultural graduates are being lost to his Department, Teagasc and other relevant agencies because of flawed assessment procedures; and his plans to address the matter.

Competitions for the recruitment of assistant agricultural inspectors are conducted by the independent Office of the Civil Service and Local Appointments Commission. I am satisfied that the selection methods utilised by it results in the appointment of the most suitable candidates.
