The staffing needs for all areas within the Department are continuously reviewed, having regard to workloads, management priorities and the competing demands arising, to ensure that the best use is made of all available resources with a view to providing an efficient service to those who rely on the schemes operated by the Department.
A limited community welfare service was provided at the old Community Centre in Bluebell between 2.15 p.m. to 2.45 p.m. each Monday. To ensure the most efficient use of available resources and to provide more options for people to avail of the service, clients in the Bluebell area can now attend the community welfare service office in Kilmainham which is available on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and on Fridays from 10 a.m. to11 a.m. for emergencies.
