My Department has recently received a copy of the report commissioned by Meath County Council in this matter. The response to the report is a matter for the Council in the first instance under the Local Government Act 2001. Nevertheless, my Department wrote to the County Manager seeking an early and full report on his proposals to act on the recommendations in the review. In response, the County Manager has identified the measures that have been put in place to date to address some of the issues raised and indicated he is developing an implementation plan for the delivery of all 25 recommendations. This response is currently being considered in my Department.
