In relation to the vacancies concerned, sanction was received from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to fill these posts and the jobs are being advertised on the website.
In relation to the recruitment process, this is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland and I have referred the question to Failte Ireland for reply and further information.
However, I am informed that the recruitment agency concerned is not engaged in active recruitment nor is it being paid a recruitment fee to carry out such a service. It is providing support to Fáilte Ireland in relation to the collation of applications and supporting documentation as well as other logistical support.
