There are no former county managers or CEOs of local authorities working in my Department or the National Economic and Social Development Office, the only body under the aegis of my Department.

I'm informed that it is the practice of my Department and its agencies not to hold records of the details of employees’ former employments.

Such information is required for recruitment purposes, including by the Public Appointments Service, but in line with GDPR cannot be maintained for other purposes, with the exception of public service pension compliance and membership. Once pension scheme membership has been determined, records relating to former employments aren’t maintained or recorded.

I am therefore not in a position to provide the information requested by the Deputy.
