Ms Fionuala McGeever:

A range of jobs on the training side have been recently advertised externally. They were sanctioned by the Department and SOLAS and required to be externally advertised. One administration post was externally advertised in recent times. An internal competition took place for that post but no candidate was recommended and, with the permission of the Department, it was externally advertised. A person accepted the post and secondment arrangements were put in place.
