I move amendment No. 69:


In page 50, to delete lines 35 to 41, and in page 51, to delete lines 1 to 5 and substitute the following:"(c) a municipal district contains the area of a town (including all the environs of the town for the purposes of the census of population concerned) the population of which, when rounded to the nearest 1,000 as shown in the latest census report of the Central Statistics Office, is equal to or greater than 20,000, then the municipal district members for such district may decide by resolution to use the title 'Mayor' or 'Deputy Mayor', to describe its office of Cathaoirleach or Leas-Chathaoirleach notwithstanding the provisions of section 31 (as amended by the Local Government Act 2013).".
