There are currently no secondees working in my Department from the companies referred to by the Deputy.

My Department does facilitate some secondment arrangements with other Public Service Bodies. These provide good opportunities for the sharing of best practice and the development of different skills and experience. These arrangements are kept under review and my Department is open to working with other sectors to explore the possibility of secondments, where they would be mutually beneficial.
