The former grade of county engineer in Kildare County Council has been subsumed into the new local authority management structure created under Better Local Government at director of services level. Each county and city manager is responsible for making such staffing and organisational arrangements as are necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible.
