Since 17 July this year, I am advised that the following promotions have occurred:

I understand the above promotions are temporary in nature with specific expiry dates applying to each of them. In addition, the position of Director of Operations in the Prisons Service was filled on a substantive basis by a serving Principal Officer. I can confirm for the Deputy that I am also advised that in all cases the relevant sanctions were obtained by my Department prior to effecting the promotions.
