Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 27 - International Co-operation
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs

9:30 am

Mr. John Conlan:

We had a number of special envoys during 2020 in regard to the UN Security Council campaign. We did a report on this last year and we brought a new procedure into place. Going forward, the Department will look at the role that is required, the competencies and the job specifications required. We will then go to the Government with a proposal for a role of special envoy. We will then run a public competition, have an assessment and then go back to the Government at the end for the approval to appoint.
