The Civil Service is a diverse public body, made up of people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, all working together to achieve the common goal of serving the people of Ireland. We are public officials who advise and assist Government ministers in the running of their Departments and have three main functions:

• Advise the Government on policy
• Help prepare and draft new legislation
• Help the Government to run the country according to the legislation passed by the Oireachtas

A career in the Civil and Public Service offers you the opportunity to be part of a diverse team of over 300,000 people. A wide variety of job roles are offered across a number of career areas, including Local Government, IT, education, health, finance, legal, foreign affairs and emergency services among others.

The Civil and Public Service is integral to social, economic and cultural life in Ireland. We aim to be responsive, flexible, efficient, innovative, diverse and inclusive in the services that we deliver to the Irish public.

There are 17 Government Departments including bodies such as the Garda Síochána, who work under the Department of Justice and Equality, and the Irish Health Service Executive, who work under the Department of Health. These Departments and Agencies work together to implement policies and services for the Irish people.
