Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised)

10:00 am

Mr. Martin Bourke:

We have a human resources division, which is headed up by our director of corporate services. We have a new HR manager, newly employed from an external panel due to commence in the next two months. The person is on a notice period with his or her existing employer. We have a number of people in the human resources division who have qualifications in HR. We have people qualified up to master's level in human resources. There was a particular emphasis on training staff last year and it will continue for the next number of years. The investment in training is very important. We have a person who is qualified to master's level who is leading the training initiative there. We are very much seeing it as an investment in the future of the OPW.
