The forthcoming vacancy in the position of Secretary General to the Government and Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach will be filled following a request for expressions of interest from all suitable officers in the Civil Service.

The post does not come within the remit of TLAC. The appointment will be made by the Government, on my advice.

There is no departure from the process that was followed in respect of this post on previous occasions, most recently in 2011.
