This Department does not hold records of staff who apply to transfer out to other Departments. We do hold records of staff from other Departments who wish to transfer to this Department. In this regard, applications for transfers to our locations outside of Dublin (i.e. Athlone, Tullamore and Mullingar) are facilitated through the Central Applications Facility (CAF) which is managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). Likewise our staff can apply to transfer to another Department/Location via the CAF or to the particular Department directly for non-CAF locations.
