Strategic Policy Committee
The Council's Strategic Policy Committee No. 2 Roads Transportation and Emergency, which includes Fire Services, holds regular meetings in order to develop, implement and renew policy issues. The Chairman of the committee is Councillor Tomas Ryan. The Committee affords both the elected representatives and local sectors the opportunity to become more involved in policy formation, in a spirit of partnership, for the benefit of the community.
The Committee meets every two-three months to consider policy issues relating to the road, transportation, and emergency services brief. The Director of Services and key senior officials attend to discuss these issues with the Committee. Attendance and the level of debate at the meetings has been very satisfactory.

- Cork Area Strategic Plan 2001-2020
