Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
1352. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development his plans for Ballygar library, County Galway, which remains closed after the retirement of its librarian in the past weeks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15361/18]
View answerUnder the Local Government Act 2001, each local authority Chief Executive is responsible for the staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of their local authority. Accordingly, it is a matter for each Chief Executive to recruit and assign staff to the library service.
That said, I understand that filing the post in Ballygar Library is a priority for Galway County Council. It has commenced the process and will fill the post as soon as is possible.
