Two officers in my Department have currently expressed an interest in transferring to one of my Department’s offices outside Dublin and consideration will be given to facilitating the requests when suitable vacancies are identified. My Department avails of workforce planning to assist in achieving the right balance between labour demand and supply so that the right number of employees, with the right skills is available in the right location at the right time. My Department operates a flexible approach to mobility and seeks to accommodate requests from staff to transfer to specific locations where possible.
