Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 June 2012
426 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality 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. [30483/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra434 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality 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. [30608/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra448 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality 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. [30825/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 426, 434 and 448 together.
To date, I understand that my Department has placed 12 posts in the redeployment pool operated by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). I am also advised that other areas in the Justice Vote Group and Agencies under the aegis of the Department, for which I have information to hand, have not placed any posts in the same pool. I would draw the Deputies' attention to the fact that it is posts rather than persons that Departments and Agencies place in the pool and therefore the situation of a maximum time for a person does not arise. The Deputies will be aware that my Department and the Vote Group generally is subject to the Employment Control Framework for the public service and available actions, including the opportunities afforded by redeployment, are being used to ensure compliance with the limits that the Framework imposes.
