Dublin City Council’s Active Travel Office hires four more staff in August

NEWS IN BRIEF: Dublin City Council’s Active Travel Office has hired four more staff in August, including a senior engineer, a senior resident engineer, an executive architect and a senior executive planner.

As reported recently, by the end of Q2 2022, Dublin City Council had only employed 26 of the 55 staff it has funding for. The level, 47%, was the second lowest percentage of active travel jobs filled vs their allocation by councils across Ireland.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

Since then, the council has employed at least four more members of staff for the Active Travel Office.

A monthly update report to councillors outlines that: “The Active Travel Programme Office continues to increase staff resources with the addition of a new Senior Engineer, a Senior Resident Engineer, an Executive Architect and a Senior Executive Planner during August. The office continues to engage with our Human Resources section on the recruitment of additional personnel.”


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
