The Taoiseach

Recruitment to my Department and to the National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO), the only body under the aegis of my Department, is mainly undertaken through the Public Appointments Service both at graduate and non-graduate level.

Where necessary, the Public Appointments Service uses the NARIC foreign qualifications comparability service provided by Quality and Qualifications Ireland. The NARIC website has information in Ukrainian about its academic qualifications recognition service which can be accessed here: www.qqi.ie/sites/default/files/2022-03/naric-guide-ukraine.pdf.
