Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Donnelly might bring the specifics of the point he raised to me. I am not aware of it but we can look at it. We want people to be able to remain in their homes. That is certainly the intention.

In response to Deputy Leddin, we are on track to have the legislation for a directly-elected mayor published in April. It is a priority for this Government, particularly for the Taoiseach and me. Once the legislation is published, it will go through both Houses, then there will be a decision by the Cabinet about when the election is to be held. I want to see it happen as soon as possible.
