Alan Farrell (Dublin Fingal, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the forbearance of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. It is imperative that there be transparency and authority.

In the context of a debate that might happen in the future at the convention, I do not agree with the concept that there should be a single mayor of Dublin because it would undermine the local authority system, into which we have put so much time and effort in the past 25 years in order to nurture it.
