Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

This is an operational matter for the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB). However, it should be noted that the post referred to by the Deputy is subject to the moratorium on recruitment and promotion applicable to the civil and public service and my understanding is that the ETB is not in a position to fill the post.
