Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 May 2017
67. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps being taken to bring about the appointment of a president for Dundalk Institute of Technology; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24462/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraA competition for the position of President of Dundalk IT was held by the Public Appointments Service in 2016. Unfortunately the outcome of that competition was unsuccessful. It has been agreed to run a new competition for the appointment of the President using the frameworks for such a recruitment process as set out by the Office of Government Procurement.
This process has commenced and it is envisaged that it will be brought to a successful conclusion prior to the retirement of the current President in August 2017.
