Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 June 2013
113. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the proposed costings and budget allocations for the establishment of the social economic committees; the proposed method of financing these bodies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28477/13]
View answerAdministrative and secretariat support for Socio-Economic Committees will be provided by the relevant City or County Council from within existing resources. This will include activities necessary for the effective operation of the Socio-Economic Committees, including arranging, hosting and servicing meetings and any other logistical, organisational or support activities that may be required on an on-going basis. Apart from those resources, I do not envisage any additional charge on public funds to support the administration of Socio-Economic Committees.
