Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I wish to speak about the first item Deputy Kenny mentioned. I do not at this stage wish to declare whether I have a candidate. However, I would like to know when the election will take place. There was some newspaper reportage on speculation that the Government would approve the heads of the local government (office of the Dublin mayor and regional authority of Dublin) Bill. Has that happened? When will the Bill be published?
