The Public Appointments Service undertakes all recruitment to posts in my Department, with the exception of cleaning staff who are recruited through FÁS. The recruitment of staff by the State bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the bodies concerned. While I retain responsibility for policy issues, I am not responsible and have no involvement in the day–to–day operational activities of these bodies, which are statutorily independent.
