The selection and appointment of a County or City Manager is governed by primary legislation, including the Local Government Act 2001. Managers are selected following open competition conducted by the Public Appointments Service. I understand that the Sligo County Manager post will become vacant later this year and the Public Appointments Service has initiated the recruitment process to replace the outgoing County Manager.

In relation to the superannuation of the outgoing Sligo County Manager, I refer the Deputy to the reply to Question No. 424 of 25 June, 2013.
