All external recruitment of civil servants into my Department is currently completed via Public Jobs.

As per our instruction, Public Jobs assign candidates to this Department only once Garda Vetting and Foreign Clearance has been successfully completed.

Staff are also recruited internally via the Civil Service Mobility Scheme. These staff are pre-existing Civil Servants and so they have completed vetting prior to their arrival.

The information in respect of aegis bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the attached document, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly with their query.
