The Deputy may be aware that in relation to recruitment the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) operates under a delegated sanction from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER). This delegated sanction provides the C&AG with scope to manage recruitment up to and including Principal Officer Standard. For posts at Principal Officer Higher and above, the C&AG is required to request sanction from DPER. In 2022, no such requests were received by my Department.
