The Civil Service Mobility Scheme comes under the remit of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and is administered through HR Shared Services.

According to information available to my Department, the person in question applied on 27th August 2018 for a transfer to Zone 16, which includes a number of Departments, of which one is my Department's Athlone office. I further understand that the person is number 25 on the mobility list for my Department.

Currently due to Covid-19, the Civil Service Mobility Scheme has been suspended. While it is not possible at this stage to give any indication if and when an offer of a transfer will be made in this case, my Department will continue to monitor the movement of the mobility panel when it resumes opeartion in relation to the filling of any upcoming vacancies.
