Amendment No. 7 proposes to amend section 31(4) regarding the mayoral programme. The mayor must present a draft of their mayoral programme for consideration by the elected council at a council meeting. As currently drafted, the members would receive a copy of the draft mayoral programme seven days before the meeting. This amendment would extend that period to 14 days. This issue was discussed in the Seanad. I believe a longer period for elected members to consider the programme is appropriate. I trust that Members can support this.
