Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Public Service Performance Report 2022: Department of Rural and Community Development
Mr. J.P. Mulherin:
Yes, it certainly does. There is a network of rural recreation officers, RROs who meet on a regular basis every two to three months, as far as I know. Even outside of the structures which we are putting in place for them, they is a great deal of engagement between individuals and of learning from each other. That is something that they are acutely aware of. It is a tough role when one gets into it and it requires a wide variety of skills from dealing with landowners to dealing with legal issues. There is a variety of skill sets which are required to try to deliver this effectively. I certainly know that these officers use each other as a support network for that purpose also.
