The Office of Public Works constantly reviews its ongoing operational needs and recruits staff as needed within the parameters of budget and Government policy on numbers.

The Office of Public Works recruits on an annual basis for guides/information officers for the relevant visitor season for built heritage sites including the Céide Fields in County Mayo. The closing date for applications for guide/information officer positions at the Céide Fields was the 7th of December, 2007. Consideration will be given to filling other vacancies as and when they may arise.

At present the Office of Public Works does not envisage any other recruitment in County Mayo in 2008.
