224. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence the number of persons that applied for the post of Head of Transformation and Head of Strategic HR for the Defence Forces; and the number of these persons that were actually called for an interview for these positions, in tabular form. [16936/23]
View answerThe posts to which the Deputy refers, those of Head of Transformation, and of Head of Strategic HR for the Defence Forces, are the subject of open Top Level Appointments Committee (TLAC) competitions.
The Top Level Appointments Committee (TLAC) supports and ensures that the recruitment and selection process for the most senior Civil Service posts is accessible to the widest pool of qualified candidates from all sectors. TLAC identify the best candidate for each vacancy and make recommendations to the relevant Minister or Government as appropriate.
TLAC advertise these positions through the Public Appointments Service (PAS). The process is administered by PAS and TLAC and both recruitment processes are currently underway and I am not in a position to furnish the information sought.
