Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I wish to ask the Tánaiste about three matters regarding legislation. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government made two announcements recently, one with regard to electronic voting and the other concerning directly elected mayors. Yesterday in the House, the Taoiseach confirmed that the directly elected mayors will require legislation. When will it come before the House? Given the long overdue decision with regard to the scrapping of the e-voting project, will the dismantling of this project also require legislation?
