We have no legislation on the books, or planned at present. The new Minister of State with special responsibility for local government and electoral reform, Deputy John Paul Phelan, will respond to the Deputy before 30 June, as committed to before. During the debate on the matter at the time, we discussed the difficulty in having a Dublin super mayor over the four local authorities. What authority does such a mayor have if he or she is over four local authorities? No legislation is planned at this stage but the Minister of State will respond to the Deputy by 30 June.
