The Public Appointments Service (PAS), which has day-to-day operational responsibility for the implementation of redeployment, has put in place a system of Resource Panels of Civil Service and State Agency staff to support the redeployment processes in those sectors under the Croke Park Agreement. Posts to be filled by redeployment are offered in the first instance to the relevant panel or panels. I am advised by PAS that 343 staff have been redeployed through the Resource Panel system up to 26th October 2012.

Redeployment is managed separately within the local authority, education and health sectors and day-to-day issues arising are a matter for the Minister responsible for the relevant sector. As progress is reported directly to the Implementation Body and details are available on its website at my Department does not collate information on the number of positions filled by redeployment in individual sectors or organisations.
