Mr. David Moloney:

No, that is definitely not correct. There definitely people are whose employment has been terminated. It is not the objective of the Civil Service disciplinary code or the performance management process to sack people. The objective is to work with them and to make sure they are fit for purpose but there are severe breaches of trust. There have been issues. The most obvious thing to think about would be theft. If someone was found guilty of a criminal offence, or misused their position in some way, these are very severe things for which people have faced termination.
