Recruitment and the qualifications required for specific positions in the Civil and Public Service are the responsibility of the Public Appointments Service (PAS).

The Department of Transport Tourism and Sport has given work experience to graduates in various disciplines under the JobBridge scheme. The Department is also about to take on a Master's degree student on a short term paid internship in an arrangement with NUI Galway. The internship will be in relation to an economic analysis of transport projects. It is anticipated that this will have an added value for the Department as well as providing valuable work experience for the intern.
