Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 April 2019
136. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 237 of 26 March 2019, the number of staff he has approved; if they have taken up their positions; and if not, when the positions will be filled. [15507/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that I approved the recruitment of 35 additional staff to the Office of the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman at the following levels:
5 Assistant Principal
11 Higher Executive Officer
15 Executive Officer
4 Clerical Officer
Obviously there is a process to be undertaken before these appointments are made. I understand that the Ombudsman intends commencing with the recruitment competitions for these positions immediately, and expects the first of these vacancies to be advertised in the coming weeks.
