I propose to take Questions Nos. 263 to 266, inclusive, together.

Information in relation to the number of staff from my Department seconded to other departments or agencies in the Civil Service per annum from 2010 to 2016 is set out in the table.

There have been no appeals against secondment in this period.

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform Circular 03/2013 sets out the details of a Staff Exchange Scheme between the Civil Service and the Private Sector, along the lines of the Temporary Staff Transfer Scheme provided for previously under Department of Public Service Circular 10/1979. A copy of Circular 03/2013 can be found on www.circulars.gov.ie.

No staff from my Department have participated in such a scheme and there were no secondments under the scheme from external organisations to my Department in the years 2010 to date.
