Noel Coonan (Tipperary North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Local Authority Members Association, LAMA, to this meeting and invite it to make its presentation. Following the presentation, we will have questions from members. I am particularly happy to welcome my colleague from North Tipperary, Councillor Kennedy, and Roscrea man, Councillor Noel Burke, who might deny he is a Tipperary man. I understand Councillor McElvaney is making the presentation and invite him to commence.
