Monday, May 08, 2023

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the Chief Executive how many Trades People/Apprentices are directly employed by the Council & if there are any plans to increase those numbers?

REPLY:

 South Dublin County Council currently employs 41 trades people of various disciplines. A significant Apprenticeship Scheme was run over the last number of years and is now complete. The Council is progressing plans to re-establish a new scheme in 2023.  The Council has been fully supportive in its endorsement of the Apprenticeship Scheme over the years and recognises the value of the scheme both to the Council and Apprentices and the significant contribution made to the organisation by the apprentices throughout the duration of the schemes.
