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

Mr. David Moloney:

There are a few points there. First, the secondment policy is one for the Civil Service because in terms of our governance and legislative function, that is what our function is. On the other hand, the policy contains within it the hope, exactly as the Chairman said, that the public service bodies would follow the lead of that policy. That is very much the framework we use.
