81. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will seek assurances that the role of the night-time economy advisers will be decided by an open competition call to ensure specialists in hospitality and night-time economies have an opportunity to apply; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59708/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is currently working with the City and County Managers Association to finalise details in relation to the Night-Time Advisor role and to ensure that the recruitment process to appoint all of the officers gets underway as soon as possible. Each local authority will be responsible for appointing individual Night-Time Advisors within their own area and I have requested that the City and County Managers Association ensure that the posts are appointed by open competition.
