MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 13, 2017

QUESTION NO.1

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

The gateway scheme has done great work in relation to clearing up dumped material county-wide and now that it is being wound down I have concerns about how this type of work will be tackled.  Many of the workers on the gateway scheme have gained invaluable experience.  Are any of these workers being offered jobs with the council so that the experience they have gained while on the scheme could be retained by the council.  

REPLY:

In total 40 Gateway employees have been successful at interview and placed on panels for employment of which 21 are now employed by the Council to date.
