MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 14, 2019

QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the frequency of his engagement (i.e. the number of meetings) and that of the Directors of Services with their counterparts in the other Dublin local authorities on matters of common interest over the past 18 months, specifically transport policy, housing and economic development and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

The four Dublin Chief Executives generally meet on a monthly basis to discuss matters arising across the county focusing on those areas where we have shared service arrangements notably, fire services, water services, waste  management, homeless provision, regional tourism and areas of mutual metropolitan interest including collaboration on planning, transportation and housing matters. Directors of Services meet less frequently to review operational issues arising under these headings.
