The recruitment of staff will be, in the first instance, a matter for the commission. However, staff complement, whether positions will be full time or part time and the rates of pay and conditions applicable will be matters for the commission in conjunction with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The selection process in respect of the director will be a matter for the Public Appointments Service. It is not envisaged that other positions in terms of the staffing complement will be recruited by reference to the Public Appointments Service.
