Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Consideration of the Citizens' Assembly Report on a Directly Elected Mayor of Dublin: Discussion (Resumed).

Mr. Anthony Cooney:

In regard to urgency and priority, it is more important to get the parameters right. The danger I see is rushing into the appointment without having considered the implications. There are positives within that but we have an existing governance structure that often proves to be working. I question whether Dublin needs a champion because Dublin is the focus of the national economy. As I said in the statement, we are neither for nor against but we caution on the thought process and the design process.
