Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I thank the Taoiseach for telling us that the heads of the local government (office of the Dublin mayor and regional authority of Dublin) Bill have been approved. Will he circulate the heads to the political parties? It is in the public interest that we know what kind of post the Government has in mind. In the interest of electoral fair play, if there is to be an election for this office some time in 2010 it would be important to have the heads of the Bill so that we can at least see the job description for the post, which would be useful for all political parties in discussing the post with prospective candidates.
