Northern Ireland Office

Question: From how many sources application forms for employment with Northern Ireland Railways have been available in each of the past five years; and what measures are in place to ensure easy access to application forms for all sections of the Northern Ireland community.

Answer: Mr. John D. Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from how many sources application forms for employment with Northern Ireland Railways have been available in each of the past five years; and what measures are in place to ensure easy access to application forms for all sections of the Northern Ireland community. [9972] Mr. Paul Murphy: This is a matter for Northern Ireland Railways. However, I understand from the managing director of the company that in each of the past five years application forms for employment with Northern Ireland Railways have been available from the human resources department at Northern Ireland Railways following advertisement in the press or through the training and employment agency network which has offices based throughout Northern Ireland. Taken together, these two measures have ensured easy access to application forms for all sections of the Northern Ireland community.
