Mr. Richard Shakespeare:

It would fundamentally undermine the notion of a Dublin region. Where a lot of the mayoral projects work is where there is a big enough agglomeration of people, land and all the bits and pieces for it to function effectively. As Ms Feeney said, if we wait to try it out in say Dublin city or Dún Laoghaire or wherever, others will look at it and try to slow it down because people like to retain a level of control.
