Ms Fiona Quinn:

I know about this baseline review and colleagues have had many discussions with the Deputy on it at previous engagements. The approach we took is we set up an independent group to look at this with councillors represented from the Association of Irish Local Government, AILG, the Local Authority Members Association, LAMA, the County and City Management Association, CCMA, the Local Government Management Agency, LGMA, the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and ourselves.
