My Department does not hold this information; the Civil Service Mobility List is managed by the NSSO. Notwithstanding the above, my Department has no offices in Co. Westmeath and is therefore not in a position to provide information on any possible positions in that location.

In relation to the individual query, it should be noted that all civil servants are subject to the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour, as published by the Standards in Public Office Commission which can be found at hr.per.gov.ie/en/publications/civil-service-code-of-standards-and-behaviour/. As set out in Section 13 of the Code civil servants should not approach any elected official to make representations on their behalf.

Officers must follow agreed formal processes in relation to any HR related matters, and depending on the matter in question raise appropriate queries with their local HR Unit, to the NSSO or the PAS. Officers can do this in their own capacity or through a union representative.
