Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each Chief Executive is responsible for the staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible.

My Department is not aware of any problems with staff in the housing department in Wicklow County Council. Any local issue of this kind is a matter for the Chief Executive of Wicklow County Council.
