Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of Local Government (Directly Elected Mayor with Executive Functions in Limerick City and County) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John A. Moran:

I will finish up now.

There are risks of a stalemate.

I am happy to take questions. I am asking the committee, if it can, to analyse the various provisions against the backdrop and see that there has been series of climbdowns from what was promised in 2019. There is real need now to move forward and stop using a British model of government that was based on not trusting the Irish. We can grow up as a country 100 years older and trust our regions to manage their own affairs. I thank the committee for the opportunity to go over the issue.
