He says it can be the case that, once a person returns, a new job essentially has to be 'made up' for them.
A review is needed into the career break system, according to a Roscommon-Galway TD.
Independent Michael Fitzmaurice is making the comments after it has been revealed around 50 Government employees have taken more leave than the standard five years.
He says it can be the case a person returns following a break and their role is no longer required, leading to a new job essentially being 'made up'.
Deputy Fitzmaurice says the public need to know they are getting value out of their civil servants:
