I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that it uses targeted recruitment to ensure that it builds and retains internal capacity, talent and leadership, and has the right people and skills in its teams. It fills critical posts based on business requirements across all grades and functional areas and undertakes workforce planning and recruitment as an iterative process. I fully support Revenue's proactive approach in sourcing the skilled professional and technical expertise required to allow it to deliver on its challenging role.
