Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2012
443 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number and costs of advertisements placed in national newspapers for job vacancies in the civil and public service in the past 12 months; the number of new entrants recruited from the process; the number of vacancies filled from inside the civil and public service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11501/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was established on 2 June 2011 and the collation of information for the purposes of replying to the Deputy's Question relates to that timeframe only. I can advise the Deputy that my Department has placed no advertisements in national newspapers for job vacancies during the period in question.
In relation to the bodies funded from the Department's Vote, the details sought by the Deputy, as advised to my Department, are set out in the table. It may be noted that in the case of the North South bodies, advertisements were placed in both jurisdictions — North and South.
