Alderman Robinson

To ask Council will current casual business support admin staff be offered permanent roles internally that are due to become available in Roe Valley and Coleraine Leisure Centres. If not what is the current employment law preventing long term and loyal staff being offered these positions internally?

Councillor McGurk

Can council consider the pricing structure for use of council owned leisure facilities by schools. Currently there are no dedicated rates for school use and rates are charged as standard juvenile rates. Perhaps a discounted structure could be considered for school use to ensure that our schools have the optimum access to our facilities whilst protecting their limited budgets.
