I welcome the Minister of State. Yesterday I explained the rationale for this amendment. In time, as the office of mayor evolves, not only in Limerick but throughout the country, we will probably look at new revenue streams for the office and a different kind of service being provided by mayors in this country. Having the benefit of the adjournment of the debate and having listened to the Minister of State's response yesterday, he suggested, if I heard him correctly, that this kind of issue might more appropriately fit in the review of the Act. I accept there is a rationale to that. We could argue the toss on it but if the Minister of State is minded to look at it in the context of the review of the Act and gives a commitment to come back with something on Report Stage, I will be happy to withdraw the amendment.
