Recruitment to the Department's Veterinary Laboratories is an ongoing process. For example, appointments have most recently been made at Research Officer (veterinarian), Laboratory Analyst and Serological Assistant grades, and a confined competition is underway to establish a panel for Laboratory Analyst positions in Cork. Resource requirements are considered in light of the overall needs of the Department, in line with guidelines set by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
