Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Dissolution) Bill 2014: Discussion

3:35 pm

Mr. Alan Robinson:

To follow on from Mr. Murphy's point, even if the term of a specific council is limited to five years, the reality is that some of the same people will be reappointed.

The reality is that some of the same people will be reappointed, in which case why have a new council after five years? It is in effect the same thing, as the people are the same. In our opening statement, we suggested a term limit for individuals of five to ten years to ensure that we keep renewing a level of energy, enthusiasm and ideas.
