Question 28: To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will issue guidelines to all Departments and statutory bodies advising that when advertising job vacancies they make it known to the public if the post being advertised is new or if it is a vacancy of a post that previously existed as a fixed-term contract.

In general, when a Department or statutory body is advertising a job vacancy, good recruitment practice requires that information be made available to candidates via a public advertisement including the nature of the position, whether it is full time or part time, the nature of the duties, the educational and work experience requirements.

The circumstances giving rise to the vacancy are of no relevance to the recruitment process and accordingly I see no need to issue guidelines as suggested by the Deputy.
