I propose to take Questions Nos. 518 and 570 together.
I am continuing to keep the overall employment position in the local government sector under regular review, having regard to the need to deliver quality front line services and achieve value for money within the parameters of Government policy on public service employment generally. My Department maintains appropriate contact with the Department of Finance in this matter.
