The following report by the Manager which had been circulated was considered:

“The Dublin Employment Pact was founded in 1998 following an EU initiative and in collaboration between the Department of An Taoiseach, the social partners, the Local Authorities, Enterprise Boards and Partnership Companies of the Dublin Region, State Agencies such as FAS, Enterprise Ireland etc, various interested Government Departments and a range of community and voluntary organisations.

 

Each Local Authority of the Dublin Region appoints one (1) elected representative to the Strategic Policy Group (SPG) of the Pact.

The provisions of Paragraph 18 of Schedule 10 to the Local Government Act 2001 regarding grouping do not apply to the appointment of these Members.”

 

It was agreed that this matter be deferred to a future meeting of the Council.”
