Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 December 2020
270. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when the position of CEO will be advertised for Galway County Council in view of the length of time that has elapsed since the last CEO left the Council and an acting CEO was appointed (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, in 2014, the then Minister appointed a temporary Chief Executive for Galway County Council until a permanent appointment was made. This took account of the ongoing local government reform programme. Following the outcome of the legislative process in relation to the Local Government Bill 2018, my Department is reviewing the issues arising, including issues in relation to the filling of the post of Chief Executive of Galway County Council on a substantive basis.
