Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, it is a matter for each local authority Chief Executive, for the purposes of discharging responsibilities, under section 149 of the Act, for the efficient and effective operation of his or her authority, to make such staffing and organisational arrangements as are deemed necessary for the purposes of carrying out the functions for which he or she carries responsibilities. The Library service is one such responsibility under Chapter 3 of the Local Government Act 2001.
Posts in the Library service are filled using recruitment qualifications declared by the Minister pursuant to section 160 of the Local Government Act 2001 and these recruitment qualifications are currently under review by my Department.
