To ask the Chief Executive if he has any plans to further promote the availability of Deputations meetings to local associations and groups and will he detail how contacts are made to such groups in the matter.

Deputation meetings affords community groups the opportunity to discuss issues with both Council Members and Officials. The Housing, Social & Community Department arranges Deputation meetings which are attended by various Council departments appropriate to the agenda being discussed.The meetings take place on the last Wednesday of each month (excluding July, August & December).  

The Deputation process is open to any group who complete the applicant process and apply at least 21 days before the proposed meeting date. The meetings are promoted by both Council Members and Officials and applications / information are available on the Councils website at the following link: http://www.sdcc.ie/services/communities/deputations

If any Member is aware of a group who wish to take up the offer of a Deputation meeting then they can supply them with the link to the council's website. If there any other queries they can contact the Community Services Department directly.
