Staffing and organisational arrangements are a matter for each County and City Manager in respect of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible. I understand that a systematic review of staffing requirements has been undertaken by the management of Mayo County Council, which has identified a need to make savings, and that the redeployment process agreed under the Public Service Agreement may be utilised in this regard.

I am not aware of any proposals by the Council regarding redundancies. Any proposals for voluntary redundancies would require sanction from my Department with the agreement of the Department of Finance.
