It is important we do not duplicate or mistime the work. For example, legislation is coming soon for a directly elected mayor for Limerick, which we will have to consider in prelegislative scrutiny. That will be a good opportunity for us to widen out that conversation. My understanding is the programme for Government has a commitment for a Citizens' Assembly on a directly elected mayor for Dublin. When we look at these matters, the best role for this committee is to coincide our work with that other work. That way we will not be jumping over ourselves.
