The Deputy will be aware that a moratorium on recruitment and promotion is currently in place across the public sector. Since the moratorium came into operation 11.6 posts have fallen vacant in the NDA. This moratorium operates in tandem with the Employment Control Framework applicable to each Department, agency or body in the sector. The National Disability Authority is therefore subject to the moratorium and to the ECF and it is in that context that the filling of its posts will be considered.
