There are currently no Clerical Officer vacancies in the Department of Justice and Equality at the locations mentioned.

The organisations under the remit of my Department fill roles at this level through the Civil Service Mobility portal and open recruitment competitions.

The Public Appointments Service (PAS), the centralised provider of recruitment and selection services for the civil service generally, manage the open recruitment competitions. Where such work opportunities do arise, they will be advertised by PAS. Further details can be obtained on the website publicjobs.ie.

Where there is a need for staff to attend offices, as is currently the case in a small number of areas, their health and welfare will continue to be our priority. I understand that the office referred to is currently closed and all staff are working remotely.
