Dublin City Council to appoint cycling officer

Dublin City Council will next month advertise for a dedicated cycling officer to oversee the local authority’s response to issues affecting cyclists in the capital.

The Department of Local Government last month approved a staff sanction request from Dublin City Council for a cycling officer. The appointee will be hired on a three-year contract.

A spokesperson for Dublin City Council said the job would go to an existing member of the local authority’s staff and that details of what the job entails would be revealed when the job is advertised in September.
