The position is that vacancies that arise are filled, in general, in the first instance from the central transfer list. The central transfer list is maintained in order of seniority on a county by county basis. Vacancies are filled on the basis of that seniority.

The person named is on the technical agricultural officer central transfer list for the counties of Leitrim, Sligo, Cavan and Donegal. Should my Department be filling vacancies in any of those counties he will be considered for a transfer based on his seniority on the central transfer list.
