92. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Defence if personnel in his Department have been removed from their positions, have been transferred to another role or had their employment terminated from 2011 to date due to breaches of Departmental standards or professional misconduct or incompetence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57894/21]
View answerThe civil servants of my Department are expected to operate to the highest standards as set out by the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour. Any breach of these standards, including professional misconduct or incompetence, is dealt with under the Civil Service Disciplinary Code which sets out the processes for investigating such matters and the range of sanctions which may be applied, up to and including termination of employment.
From 2011 to date, nobody has been removed from their position, transferred to another role or had their employment terminated due to breaches of standards, or professional misconduct or incompetence.
