Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Is it intended to bring the revised programme for Government before the House for approval?

The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government made a commitment, which the Taoiseach repeated, to hold an election next summer for a mayor of Dublin. We do not yet know what will be the functions of that office or how it will relate to the existing local authorities. Legislation is required. When is it intended to publish it and is it planned to enact it before the end of 2009?
