Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2022
2. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of former county managers and CEOs of local authorities who are currently working within his Department and any agency or body under the remit of his Department, including details for persons employed in any format such as on a contract or advisory basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36296/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI'm informed that it is the practice of my Department and its agencies not to hold records of the details of employees’ former employments.
Such information is required for recruitment purposes, including by the Public Appointments Service, but in line with GDPR cannot be maintained for other purposes, with the exception of public service pension compliance and membership. Once pension scheme membership has been determined, records relating to former employments aren’t maintained or recorded.
I am therefore not in a position to provide the information requested by the Deputy.
