There are eleven existing contracts of an indefinite period which were entered into by my Department prior to the enactment of the EU Procurement Directive.

In addition, the CEOs of two agencies under my Department’s remit asserted their right to a contract of indefinite duration under the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 prior to the enactment of the EU Procurement Directive in May 2016.
