Government policy in relation to the recruitment of civil and public servants is a matter for my colleague Paschal Donohoe, T.D., Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.  My Department  uses the recruitment services of the Public Appointment Services and adheres to the guidance issued by Commission for Public Service Appointments guidance for other recruitment of staff. 

Operational matters in relation to the State Agencies under the remit of my Department are the responsibility of the Board of each Agency.  However, I am informed that the State Agencies under the remit of my Department also adhere to the relevant policies.
