Many of the points I wanted to address have been addressed by other speakers. I will hand over to our guests and ask each of them to pick the top three changes they would like to see in the Bill. I ask them also to talk about the revenue-raising powers they would like to see. How, through this Bill, would our guests try to tackle the problem that local government in general does not have the ability to raise revenue? I want to focus on that. I ask them to mention three issues they would prioritise in making changes to this Bill. What revenue-raising powers would they like to see available to a mayor of Limerick?
