Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2014
318. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Defence if he will provide in tabular form, the number of civil servants in his Department who have designated a County Mayo venue as their preference for a transfer; the numbers who have moved to the county in each year since 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40895/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraNo staff from my Department transferred to Mayo in the period since 2011. My Department is aware of one staff member who expressed an interest in transferring to Mayo during this timeframe. Staff wishing to transfer to a location designated under the Government’s Decentralisation Programme are required to register their interest on the Central Applications Facility (CAF) which is administered by the Public Appointments Service. My Department has no access to this information and will only be notified of a transfer request when an officer is being considered for a transfer to their selected location.
