In terms of local authority reform plans for Dublin, is it still the Minister's intention to propose a directly elected mayor to the electorate of Dublin at the next local elections? If so, will this be done by means of a simple referendum with "Yes" and "No" options? Will the ballot take place in all the local authorities in the Dublin region? If the electorate vote in favour of a directly elected mayor, will further reforms be introduced after 2014 to accommodate the new system?
