As autonomous statutory bodies it is a matter for each Higher Education Institution to manage its staffing resources and retirements as they arise. In contrast to other parts of the public service an Employment Control Framework is in place for the higher education sector which provides institutions with considerable flexibility to fill vacancies, through recruitment or promotions, subject to the conditions of the ECF. Furthermore, as autonomous bodies, day-to-day operational issues are a matter for the institution concerned.
