My Department is committed to ensuring that a highly skilled, motivated and efficient workforce is in place to meet on-going business needs and avails of Workforce planning to identify and assess these needs on an on-going basis.
Staff recruitment is continuing in my Department at present. Posts continue to be advertised either by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) or by my Department's Human Resources Division.
In relation to the specific post mentioned, I understand that, in accordance with the terms of the competition for this post, it was anticipated that this competition would give rise to one appointment and the order of merit list was to remain in place for a period of up to two years. This order of merit will be used to fill any further vacancies that may arise during that period in Killybegs Fishery Harbour Centre.
Currently, there is no vacant craft worker position in Killybegs and it is not expected that the lifetime of the existing order of merit will be extended.
