-----I have not impugned anyone's reputation, their experience or whatever, I am simply asking if it is the Government's policy to advertise vacancies in the civil and public service. If it is the Government's policy to do so, why, in this instance, did no advertising or interviews take place? Who decided to make an appointment without the job vacancy being advertised and an interview process being held? That is a relevant question and if Senator Bacik does not like it, that is tough.
