Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I understand that the Minister of State, Deputy John Paul Phelan, is examining the issue at the moment to see what are his options from a legal point of view, including a new election, the appointment of a commissioner or the possibility of the council attempting to put together a budget even now at this late stage. He is examining the matter with the Attorney General and I am afraid I cannot give a further update at this stage.
