As the Deputy will be aware, Civil Service Departments and Offices have delegated sanction to recruit staff up to Principal Office level based on their pay and number allocation.
The Deputy will also be aware, that the Public Appointments Service, an independent statutory recruitment body undertook competitions in 2016 for Executive Officer and Higher Executive Officer in ICT for the civil service, and approximately 240 staff were assigned from these panels.
It is not possible to say if information and communication technology specialists will be required in the Connaught region. The main factor affecting the assignment of staff are the demand for such staff from Departments and Offices based there.
