Mr. John Hogan:

We have done it both ways in that we have utilised PAS to advertise on our behalf. We often recruit through the centralised system. Regarding the AP grade, someone coming through the AP1 competition can end up in the Department of Finance, the Department of the Taoiseach or the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Somebody may have a particular interest in working in the Department of Finance or the Department of the Taoiseach, but it is not guaranteed by coming through the system that they will necessarily end up there. We also have recruitment for the Irish Government Economic Evaluation Service. Mr. McCarthy might like to say a few words about that because it is also important in this context.
