Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

I am still considering the position in relation to timing of the filling of the post of the Chief Executive of Galway County Council on a permanent basis. I hope to bring clarity on the intended approach over the coming weeks.

There is a requirement for all Chief Executive posts for Local Authorities to be advertised openly on the www.publicjobs.ie website operated by the Public Appointments Service (PAS).
