Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail)

We have no issue with the appointment of interim managers. Will the persons appointed to the interim function in Limerick and Tipperary automatically become designated to lead the new unitary authorities after the 2014 local elections? I did not pick up that point in the contribution of the Minister of State. Are they jobs for life or are these important leadership roles in local government to be appointed on the basis of a three-year, five-year or seven-year term?
