The suggestion from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is that many of the provisions included in the Bill already apply to local authority members and do not apply to Oireachtas Members. It argues that the purpose of the Bill is to tidy up matters, but the AILG clearly begs to differ. Does the Bill have the potential to frighten people away from running for local office?
