Secondment Policy in the Civil and Public Service: Engagement with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Mr. David Moloney:

I am afraid we only have, since the operation of this policy, information on sanctions within the Civil Service. That is only since the end of last year. We do not have a role in secondment in the wider public sector generally and we do not have the data on it. Secondments are, as I said, very commonly used in order to generate knowledge and broaden experience. I am afraid I do not have the numbers.
