In regard to openness and transparency, all of the current vacancies on the board of the Grangegorman Development Agency are advertised on www.publicjobs.ie. It is important we are able to demonstrate to anybody who is interested in vacancies of this nature that he or she can find out about them and apply for a position. I was delighted last week when a resident from an adjoining area contacted me after seeing on the website that a post on the board was vacant. The resident asked me how a member of the public could apply for the position and I was able to explain that one should apply through the website. This is a mark of our emphasis on transparency.
