Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 June 2012
240 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of persons in his Department’s redeployment pool, including agencies responsible to it, that is, those persons who are to be redeployed as their current role is no longer necessary, but have not been redeployed as of yet. [30484/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra244 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of persons employed in his Department and in agencies under his aegis that are in the redeployment pool; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30609/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra249 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of persons within his Department or within agencies under his aegis that are awaiting redeployment; the maximum period of time that a person has been waiting for redeployment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30826/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 240, 244 and 249 together.
To date in my Department no positions have been identified as surplus to requirements and therefore no positions have been placed on a redeployment panel. Regarding agencies under the aegis of my Department, the Public Appointments Service has two positions available for redeployment on their panel since May 2012. In addition in the IPA, out of 15 positions identified for redeployment, there are only three still awaiting redeployment for the last two months.
The Public Appointments Service is responsible for reassigning positions from redeployment panels.
Management in my Department will continue to monitor and examine how resources are been deployed and whenever possible any surplus posts will be placed on the redeployment panel.
