I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that there are no impediments to temporary staff who are employed by outsourced companies on behalf of Revenue in relation to applications for jobs in the Revenue Commissioners providing they meet the eligibility criteria of the respective competitions.
The recruitment and appointment of permanent staff in Revenue is regulated by the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA), the statutory body responsible for public service recruitment. All recruitment to permanent positions in Revenue is carried in accordance with the CPSA Codes of Practice and the terms of a recruitment licence granted by the CPSA, which ensure a fair and transparent process. Selection processes are open to all eligible applicants who meet the minimum entry criteria and an applicant's current employment status is not an impediment to applying.
