Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2014
136. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of staff seconded to his Department each year between 2011 and 2013 from external companies; the company from which each person was seconded; and the role of each person in his Department. [10821/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAlthough staff are seconded from time to time from other Government Departments and the wider Public Service, there have not been any staff seconded to my Department from external companies between 2011 and 2013.
However, the Deputy may wish to note that there have been occasions when individuals from the private sector have been engaged by the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform on a "contract for services" basis. These appointments would not be classified as secondments under the strict definition of the term, but details are nonethless provided below for information:
