SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Emma Hendrick

South Dublin County is well served by a large network of community facilities covering the vast majority of the main neighbourhoods in the County. The majority of the existing community facilities in the County are built on Council owned land and are usually managed by independent local voluntary management committees under management licences provided by the Council. This Area Committee calls on South Dublin county Council to ensure that all community facilities are staffed to capacity and staff are paid reasonable rates for their work

REPORT:

The setting of staff numbers and salaries or wages in local community centres are a matter for the relevant Management Companies employing those staff working in the community facilities.

Local Community Officers on hand to provide advice and companies are always strongly advised to ensure that appropriate pay scales and salaries are adopted to reflect the duties and roles of the staff in the centres.

The Council's Community Services Department is constantly available to advise, assist and support the management committees of all centres in the County as well as recognising the commendable efforts and volunteerism in managing community centres to support delivery of a wide range of community activities and services for local residents.
