Mr. Jim Gavin:

Yes. As the independent chair of the assembly, I need to advocate for what members have said, and they have made these 18 recommendations. That is what I can speak to. It is in the programme of Government that Dublin will have a directly elected mayor. No reference is made to a plebiscite, so there is an option to crack on. The general feeling from the assembly members was that we should crack on. There has been enough talk about this. However, I do get the point about the risk of it failing, particularly on the narrative that can be spun around it. Getting the general scheme right is really important. There is a balance to be struck. The members understand the political landscape more than I ever will.
