From Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA)

If you are unhappy with a decision made during a selection process, believe it was made on the basis of incorrect information or that documented procedure was not followed, you can ask for a review under section 7 of the relevant code. The decision may be reversed if it is found to have been incorrect.
The Commission does not have a role in considering requests for review under Section 7. Requests should be made to the public body that carried out the selection process.
A request for an informal review should be made to the public body within 5 working days of receipt of the decision. A request for a formal review should be made to the public body within 10 working days of receipt of the decision.
In making your request you should clearly outline the facts that you believe show that the action taken or the decision reached was wrong.
A guide on the role of the reviewer is available below.
