I am advised by the Irish Prison Service that staffing requirements are continuously monitored, vacancies can arise as a result of multiple factors including mobility, promotions and retirements.

I am further advised that the Irish Prison Service recruitment process is on-going, internal promotional competitions are held to fill vacancies at all levels of the organisation as they arise.  The Irish Prison Service also engages in external recruitment, either directly as a recruitment licence holder, or through the Public Appointments Service, for certain posts of a specialised nature.

Currently the Irish Prison Service are filling vacancies for Prison Clerical Officers, Recruit Prison Officers, Prison Nurses along with some Senior Level grades.
