Hi folks,

I hear some people in some departments got emails asking them to volunteer to help with the HSE phone line or contact tracing or to social welfare.

I haven't got anything but very much want to help - my current role isn't really essential at a time like this.

Is there some centralised body dealing with this, or should I just contact local HR?

Anyone been redeployed?

Not sure if this is the right forum but I'm sure there are thousands of civil servants who want to help

Hi,

check out https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/c59aa9-faqs-temporary-assignments-across-the-civil-and-public-service-in-re/

Many staff in most Departments will be asked to volunteer. Or possibly forced to move to HSE or DEASP temporarily. I'd say by Monday you will be getting an email from HR.

Best of luck!
