Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the details of the appointment of additional staff to the housing department of Kildare County Council in 2015 and 2016, including the number appointed, the positions and grades of the appointees, the future plans regarding appointments to the housing section; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department works closely with Kildare County Council in relation to the Council’s overall staffing requirements. However, under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, it is the Chief Executive of the Council who is responsible for staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authority.
The table below sets out the posts sanctioned by my Department for Kildare County Council in 2015. No sanction applications for housing staff have been received in 2016.
