Is there any way to jump from being an agency worker to being permanent? Let us say an agency worker has completed six, 12 or 18 months work with Tusla, which would be taken into account at interview or in the recruitment process, to move a person up the line because he or she has that experience, is there any way of jumping that ten-step process and converting directly to being permanent? I assume there are roles and positions to be filled.
