At present the Office of Public Works has no vacancies in County Wexford or in South Leinster which could be filled by transfer at general operative level. However, any general operative in OPW can apply for a transfer, which would be considered in the event of a suitable vacancy arising.

I have no function in the filling of General Operative level vacancies in other Government Departments.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 79, ref. 34305/08, and advise that, other than the Office of Public Works, my Department has no General Operative posts in County Wexford or South Leinster nor do they have any posts that could be filled at General Operative level.
