Labour Court recommends meeting on youth services staffing review

In 2009, the Labour Court recommended that the City Of Dublin Youth Services Board and the Irish Municipal, Public And Civil Trade Union meet to explore a review of the Board’s staffing structures. The recommendation was signed on 2 March 2009. The union said a wider review of staffing structures had not covered youth services. City of Dublin Vocational Educational Committee, which represented the Board, accepted the need for a review but said government departments had not sanctioned it. The Court noted there was no real dispute between the union and employer and recommended that interested parties meet on a without-prejudice basis to consider the agreed proposals.
