As the Deputy will be aware, in 2014, the then Minister appointed a temporary Chief Executive for Galway County Council until a permanent appointment was made. This took account of the ongoing local government reform programme.  Following the outcome of the legislative process in relation to the Local Government Bill 2018, my Department is reviewing the issues arising, including issues in relation to the filling of the post of Chief Executive of Galway County Council on a substantive basis.
