In the case of the swimming pool in the Curragh Camp, my Department currently employs two civilian lifeguards in order to facilitate the use of the pool outside of Defence Forces' requirements. These lifeguards cover the following hours: 5.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 9.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Recruitment of Civilian Employees in military installations is an ongoing process and vacancies are identified and filled on a priority basis.
