Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Dr. Ciarán O'Keeffe:
One can buy in expertise. However, sometimes having persons within the staff who understand one's structures and who have a long-term commitment to the body, for instance, the local authority, could be a useful asset in getting over some of these problems. At present, we have very few such persons employed round the country in local authorities.
