Minister for Finance

I wish to inform the Deputy that since the implementation of the Cross Stream Promotion arrangements a number of staff at Clerical Officer and Executive Officer level in my Department have participated in various competitions which were advertised internally. However, to date, none have been successful.

All competitions run by my Department adhere to the Commission for Public Service Appointments Code of Practice.
