The Deputy should note that the appointment of Temporary Clerical Officers (TCOs) is typically undertaken to cover absences arising from staff availing of the Shorter Working Year Scheme. Such appointments are typically 8-12 weeks in duration. My Department has also appointed TCOs to bridge Clerical Officer vacancies while awaiting assignment of permanent staff from the Public Appointments Service.
