asked the Minister for Defence if, further to his reply to a question of 11th April, 1951 he will indicate the reasons for the delay in the approval of the conditions of appointment of a civil defence officer for Cork City.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cork Civil Defence Officer.
The local authority proposes to appoint a certain existing officer as full-time civil defence officer. The proposed arrangements for the carrying out of the normal duties of this officer are the subject of consultation between the city manager for Cork City, the Department of Defence and the Department of Local Government. When these arrangements have been settled, I will be in a position to intimate the approved conditions of appointment to the city manager.
Is the Minister aware that several months have passed since the corporation approved of this proposal?
The conditions are not settled yet.
