Comprehensive Action Programme for the Reform of Local Government: Discussion
4:35 pm
Mr. Denis Conlan:
That is about all that can be said on that subject until the terms of reference emerge.
The Senator referred to the terminology used relating to districts and councils. The district is the territory or area that is referred to throughout. The council includes the members who will be elected for that district and I expect that they will be referred to as the members of the municipal district council in the legislation. I see no reason not to do so.
