Dept of Justice staff “frozen” at Killarney offices
E
Employees at the Department of Justice offices in Killarney are “tired of complaining” about working conditions at the facility, according to Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae.
Healy-Rae raised the issue in a query submitted to the Minister for Justice, Charles Flanagan, having been contacted by staff who are displeased with the current state of the building.
“I wish to raise on behalf of the workers the issue of the working conditions in the building,” Healy-Rae said, “mainly the cold as the windows are single-glazed and the staff are frozen while working there.”
“Staff are tired of complaining so I’m asking you what proposal have you to improve the conditions the staff are expected to work in, Surely the staff have the right to work in conditions the same as people in the private sector.”
In his response, the Minister said there were plans to further develop the office in Killarney “in the context of the expansion of the National Shared Services Office”, and that the issue of window replacement would be incorporated in that programme of works.
