European Council in Brussels: Statements (2 Jul 2013)

Lucinda Creighton: ...simply a question of the Government praising itself, as Deputy Martin tried to claim, but it is something that is accepted widely.

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (3 Nov 2010)

Lucinda Creighton: ...much like hard work and the Minister has chosen the easy option. He has taken a good and meritorious concept, that of a directly elected mayor of Dublin with real powers and a meaningful role, and managed to turn it into a farcical position, one with all the trappings of high office but none of the reforms that are so badly needed.

Dublin Mayors. (24 Sep 2009)

Lucinda Creighton: ...will not be the case. How will we deal with three country mayors and a city mayor? Where will the mayor live? What about the Mansion House?
