The Union of Professional and Technical Civil Servants was a trade union representing civil servants in Ireland.

The union was founded in 1919 as the Institution of Professional Civil Servants, a name it shared with a British union founded the same year. [1]

In 1979, the union renamed itself as the "Union of Professional and Technical Civil Servants". By 1990, it had more than 7,000 members. [1]

In 1991, the union amalgamated with the Irish Municipal Employees' Trade Union and the Local Government and Public Services Union, forming the Irish Municipal, Public and Civil Trade Union. [1]

The civil service is a collective term for a sector of government composed mainly of career civil servants hired on professional merit rather than appointed or elected, whose institutional tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership. A civil servant, also known as a public servant, is a person employed in the public sector by a government department or agency for public sector undertakings. Civil servants work for central and state governments, and answer to the government, not a political party.
