Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Tá ceist agam faoi reachtaíocht atá fógraithe, the local government reform bill. The Government committed to reorganising local governance structures to allow the further devolution of decision making to local people. As I understand it, there was an announcement today on the abolition of town councils. There is real hunger for more democracy but there is considerable fear that this is just about costs. Could the Taoiseach tell us when the local government reform Bill will be published and brought before the Dáil?
