Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Consideration of the Citizens' Assembly Report on a Directly Elected Mayor of Dublin: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

It does, and our job is to co-ordinate them. We do that and are reasonably successful most of the time. For something like that, where we are trying to replicate one thing across all the local authorities, funding might well turn out to be the issue no matter who is controlling it. What works in one place on the basis that it has density does not work spread out across the other areas because there is not the same density.
