Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

The Public Appointments Service have informed me that 84 appointments have been made in total with 5 of those assigned in 2024. 92% were internal appointments and 8% external.

There are 51 remaining on panel.  The Public Appointments Service advise that it is not possible to predict the number of appointments which will be made as this is dependent on receiving requests from clients.
