Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
462. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of clerical officers and clerical assistants in his Department on temporary contracts by years of service; if these officers will be offered permanent positions in the Civil Service when they have served a fixed period of time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16428/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department currently has 32 Temporary Clerical Officers (TCOs) engaged across four locations, to supplement the existing staffing cohort of the Department. The majority of TCOs have been appointed to positions which are temporary due to the short-term nature of the body of work or in a small number of cases the positions are to cover a number maternity or long-term sick leave absences, for which contracts of indefinite duration would not be warranted.
The clerical assistant grade no longer exists in the civil service.
