Thomas Gould (Cork North-Central, Sinn Fein)

I do not doubt Mr. Brannigan on the work they are doing but does the council have the staff to do it? As the party spokesman on local government, I am going around looking at towns, villages and cities. Everywhere I go I see dereliction and I hear a load of work is being done but I do not believe the council has the resources. I want to give it the resources. I want to encourage the Minister and the Department to give them the money they need.
