*In 2009, the CPSU made a claim with the Department of Foreign Affairs on behalf of 10 Temporary Clerical Officers based in the Passport Office, for contracts of indefinite duration (CID). The CIDs were approved by the Department of Finance on the basis that the staff involved were to be employed by the Department of Social Protection who had an urgent requirement for staff at the time.
