Structure of new Limerick authority ‘a mess’ say staff

Senior professional staff at Limerick City and County Council claim the structure of the newly formed local authority is “a mess”.

Over 60% of engineers and planners are in favour of voting on industrial action.

A study, in recent days, by the Local Authority Professional Officers (LAPO), also found 94% of its members do not agree with a new staffing structure, while 75% said the changed management system had confused staff.
