QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

As the period of tender of the concession for running Grange Castle Golf Course comes to an end and a new tender is in preparation can you state the advantages and disadvantages of the Golf Course being run by a concessionaire as opposed to by direct SDCC labour?

REPLY:

As part of the review of the current concession and in advance of issuing a tender, an assessment of the costs and benfits has been undertaken. It is considered to more beneficial to SDCC to re-tender the concession rather than reverting to a direct labour model, which would necessiate the recruitment of specialist staff.
