Strategic Policy Committees

Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) are structured around the main functions of council. They are made up of elected councillors and other representatives of the social partners and other sectoral interests.

Each SPC is chaired by an elected councillor and will be supported by a director of service. The task of the SPC is to assist and advise the council in the formulation, development and review of policy. The SPCs will not be concerned with individual representational or operational issues. Final policy decisions, however, will ultimately rest with the full council acting as a body. There are currently four SPCs in Clare County Council.

Strategic Policy Committees were established in line with revised guidelines published by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. Strategic Policy Committees assist and advise the council in the formulation, development and review of policies.

Following a public consultation process a new SPC Scheme for the Strategic Policy Committee 2024-2029 was adopted at the Council Meeting held on Monday 9^th September 2024. Nominations are currently being sought from the various sectors and new committees will be in place by the end of October.
