Consideration of the Citizens' Assembly Report on a Directly Elected Mayor of Dublin: Discussion
Mr. Colm Ward:
Regarding structures, the Deputy spoke about Uisce Éireann and that is just one utility. There are multiple functions involving tiered structures. We need to consider funding, as mentioned earlier, the governance side and the representational side. The engagement on that will be enormous. There is no point in us going into huge detail on it now. Once the terms and the boundaries of the plebiscite are understood, at least we can start getting down to work on what the future structure might look like. It is very speculative, but it is an enormous task based on the range of recommendations for services and functions that would transfer to the mayoral office.
