Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

As the Deputy will be aware, the Public Appointments Service is an independent, statutory body which provides professional recruitment and selection services to the Civil and Public Service. Interviews for the Donegal summer panel took place in Dublin in May 2019 due to logistical reasons and board member availability.
