That is fine. Not to labour the point in terms of a deputy, I appreciate what the Minister of State said regarding the title of deputy mayor. I do not suggest using that title but perhaps there could be a formalised procedure within the council so that matters would not just be dealt with on an ad hocbasis. If the speaker or príomh comhairleoir was unavailable, perhaps there could be a formal deputy who could stand in for the príomh comhairleoir.
