Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 November 2022
88. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide the attendance record of his Department at all joint policing committee and city and county development board meetings since 2015 to date, in tabular form. [59686/22]
View answerLocal authority committees are established under the reserved functions of elected councils for specific governance and decisions making reasons in accordance with the Local Government Act 2001, and other legislation.
Recognising the independent role of local authorities, as Minister I and my Department have no statutory role in such Committees and, as such, do not attend.
City and county development boards were dissolved under the County and City Development Boards Dissolution Order 2014. There have therefore been no meetings since 2015.
