Brian Stanley (Laois-Offaly, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This time last year we had the launch of the document, Putting People First, on local government reform. When will the heads of the local government Bill come before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht for discussion, as requested by the Chairman and members?

Will it devolve powers from fortress Custom House to local councils and from unelected county managers to councillors?
