The Department of Rural and Community Development was established on 19th July 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland.

I can confirm that no staff members employed in my Department went on secondment since January 2019 on the basis that they would not return to their position within the Department.

My Department currently has only one employee who is seconded out to another Government Department.
