Clarify what the nature and extent of the role of the Municipal District Manager is within KCC

My second question at today’s (18th Oct) MD meeting, ‘As legislation is unclear on the role of the Municipal District Manager, can the Chief Executive Officer clarify what the nature and extent of the role of the Municipal District Manager is within Kildare County Council?
Here is the report issued by: Mr T McDonnell, Director of Service, Housing and Corporate Services; ‘Each Director of Service is delegated duties to attend and service a municipal district, on behalf of the Chief Executive. The Director co-ordinates and monitors, in consultation with the relevant Director of Service for a specific function, in terms of the adopted works programme as approved by council, the annual budget, and Capital Programme for the municipal district.
