The Labour Court recommended that Kilkenny County Council more clearly explain desirable attributes in future non-specialist Grade 7 competitions and consult Forsa before setting them. The recommendation was signed on 1 October 2018. Forsa said changes to a Grade 7 internal auditor competition had disadvantaged internal candidates. The Court found the specified attributes did not materially affect scoring, but accepted the competition’s structure may have deterred candidates and was not best practice. It rejected Forsa’s request to reserve a future Grade 7 post for Council candidates.
