Welcome to the Association of Higher Civil and Public Servants (AHCPS) website.

Since 1943 the Association has provided effective negotiation, representation and back-up services to senior civil servants and managers in the commercial and non-commercial State sector in Ireland.

Our members are key policy influencers and public service providers who have made a major contribution to Irish life and administrative, economic and social development since the foundation of the State.

The Fair Shop campaign will be a long-term, sustained and innovative effort to provide information to consumers – including the country’s 800,000 trade union members – to encourage them to spend their money in shops that respect the rights of their employees. A number of significant retailers have already been included in the campaign.
