View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 208 and 209 together.
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. In this regard, it is a matter for each individual Chief Executive to recruit and assign staff to specific divisions.
My Department does not maintain information on specific vacancies or recruitment within local authorities.
