A competition for the position of President of Dundalk IT was held by the Public Appointments Service in 2016. Unfortunately the outcome of that competition was unsuccessful.  It has been agreed to run a new competition for the appointment of the President using the frameworks for such a recruitment process as set out by the Office of Government Procurement. 

This process has commenced and it is envisaged that it will be brought to a successful conclusion prior to the retirement of the current President in August 2017.
