467. Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Health the reason positions for temporary grade IV and grade V posts in Kildare and west Wicklow are restricted to Health Service Executive staff working in this existing area; and the reason staff working in Dublin, but living in Kildare, are excluded from applying for these positions. [40675/15]

I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on this matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
