There are currently two officers at Clerical Officer grade temporarily assigned to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, and one Counsellor (PO equivalent) serving there on secondment. A First Secretary has recently completed an assignment to that Department.

The areas referenced in the question are not under the direct remit of my Department but we are happy to support the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth through these assignments.
