I wish to inform the Deputy that The Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour requires former civil servants to seek approval from the Department to take up an appointment or engagement within 12 months of leaving service.

My department has not been notified of any civil servants retired within the last 12 months taking up duty on State Boards. The time period in respect of this requirement for previous Secretary General’s has elapsed.

Any information in respect of directors of service, retired city/county managers would be a matter for individual local authorities.
