Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Tracker Mortgages and Differential Pricing in Insurance: Discussion
Mr. Ger Deering:
It is a mix. We have lost some long-standing staff members to promotion opportunities. I do not want this to sound as if it is negative. It happens in the public service all the time that people move around but in the case of a small agency, it can be different. I have spoken to personnel officer in Departments and so on, where the same is happening but they can absorb it better. Other people might have been on a recruitment panel to come to us, but may have been on a panel for a more senior job somewhere else and that opportunity may arise. Recruitment will take place this week and next week, and we are hopeful of getting to a steady state.
