I know this has gone on for a long time but I would like to respond briefly as we are finishing on the stakeholders' group and will be dealing with other specific matters later. I will refer to one example in the Bill. I welcome the role councillors will have but that is if it is part of an integrated whole rather than a corporate subsidiary. In the case of Dún Laoghaire, of the two options, we urge the Minister, who will ultimately be making the decision, to make it an integrated part of the county council.
