Secondment Policy in the Civil and Public Service: Engagement with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. David Moloney:
There has been some success in attracting people into the Civil Service at senior levels, including at assistant principal and principal officer level. We have seen the progression of some of those people up to and including Secretary General level. What is sometimes talked about is bringing people in directly at assistant secretary or Secretary General level. The general view is that the level of applications and interest we get in those has not yielded in the last two years.
