Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA) is an independent statutory body and as such I have no role in the setting of its review procedures.  However, I am informed by the Commission that it is awaiting a judgement on a Judicial review case relating to, inter alia, the review procedures available under its Codes of Practice.  This case will inform any review of the Commission's appeal procedures that are published in the Section 15 and 16 Freedom of Information manual and on the CPSA website.
