Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

We identified staffing requirements in 2017 and we are very close to achieving those now. We hope to take on seven additional staff as a result of a competition we ran very recently. We have another competition on the way for a higher grade of staff. That is the staffing complement we intend to deploy. Much of what we do involves technology as well as staff. The Deputy rightly makes the point that having well trained staff who are professional at what they do is an absolute sine qua non.
