Vol. 127 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Council Officers' Duties.

asked the Minister for Local Government whether, by regulation, condition of appointment or custom, the senior officers of a county council (meaning thereby county manager, secretary, accountant and engineer) are expected to be on call for duty in an emergency at any time not in ordinary office hours.

There is no regulation or condition of employment requiring senior officers to be on call for duty in an emergency at any time not in ordinary office hours. The custom depends on local arrangements, but I am aware that in many cases such officers attend meetings and conferences connected with their duties, outside office hours.
