Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Review of Storm Éowyn and Storm Preparedness: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Coilín O'Reilly:

I can only speak for the counties in which I have worked. I would not say that necessarily. There are always more jobs than we can do. That is the nature of what we do. Deputies and councillors constantly ring us and we get to what we can, when we can. That is a reality. At the moment I believe we have enough GOs. As Mr. Kehoe said, we are going to transfer them back from Irish Water and that will increase the complement. We also have to be careful not to carry people that you do not necessarily need all the time.
