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. Art O'Leary:

Correct. There should be as much detail as possible. That would not only be the recommendations, but also the powers, structures and supports that would be required and also possibly the cost. This is the minimum that should travel with any plebiscite, I would have thought. Our experience is that, if people do not know or understand or are not sure, they tend to vote no.
