Information about the Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs)
Dublin City Council have asked for comments and feedback on the Draft Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) Scheme 2024 – 2029
PPN member groups can give feedback in one of two ways: either individually as member groups on the council website page here: https://consultation.dublincity.ie/corporate-services/dublin-city-council-strategic-policy-scheme-2024-2
And/or you can make a joint PPN submission.
To do this please send your comments and observations to Ruth by Thursday 31 July, and these will be collated and sent to the council as a joint PPN submission.
The PPN has three objectives: to share information within the network, to offer capacity building training within the network and to offer support to Representatives who sit on SPCs.
Nomination forms for the new SPCs will be available online from 02 September.
The SPCs are intended to be strategic in nature while the operational matters are mainly dealt with at Area Committees. The City Council is, and remains, the decision-making authority and the final decision on strategic issues rests with the full Council.
Watch this space for updates on the nominations’ process.

The PPN autumn series of training courses and Plenary details can be found on the Events Section of the website. However, as Ruth will be on annual leave until Tuesday 27 August, you cannot book a place on these sessions again until Tuesday 27 August.
Thank you for your patience.
