Strategic Policy Committees
Kilkenny County Council has four strategic policy committees. Each of these committees is composed of council members and external members. The external members are nominated by various voluntary and community groups. The purpose of these committees is to advise the council on all areas of policy.
Each committee is served by a full time administrator who will provide the backup necessary for the members to perform their function.
Responsibility for accepting or rejecting policy recommendations from the SPC’s will still rest with the full council of elected members.
The chairmen of each of these committees will form the membership of the corporate policy committee, which will be chaired by the Council Chairman.
