I am in one of the cubby holes in the convention centre. I thank everybody for an engaging meeting, which has been particularly interesting. Professor Ó Broin said there are fewer clear links between the vote in local elections and local government policy that might be wished for. What kind of matters would this include if a locally elected mayor is to make a link between local elections and policy stronger?
