Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works has one relevant open competition panel for General Operative Band 2 level. The position with regard to applicants who indicated a preference for a midlands area is that one person has been appointed to a midlands position. The order of placement on the panel was followed in making that appointment.

Question No. 136 answered with Question No. 128.
