Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leo siúd a labhair anseo inniu. Bhí mé sa Seanad anseo ón 16 Lúnasa 1989 go dtí Mí na Samhna 1992. Bhain mé an-taitneamh as a bheith sa Seanad ach bhí mé sásta dul go dtí an Dáil freisin. I spent six years on Galway County Council and I was unusual in that I actually got into...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The issue of people not running for election is massive and we will all highlight the various reasons that is happening. I would like to make some suggestions in that regard. First, there should be a very strict limit on the spend in local authority elections. Second, the councils should make bylaws to limit the number of posters candidates can put up. Third, and this would be vital, is...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I think we can all agree that there should be a third tier because counties are too big. This is equally valid for Dublin. I remember having this argument. We have Dublin City Council now but going back in time there was Pembroke district, where I grew up, Rathmines and so on. These were town councils within the city. I know Dublin really well and it is a city of villages that do not...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Then we would be totally submerged. Second, and I hope I have made myself clear, councillors should be paid full time. It is a full-time job. This idea of doing it voluntarily in a world where people are trying to pay mortgages precludes younger working people from taking up this position. The advice issue is similar. I fully support that. Regarding regional assemblies, they are the...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If I were a councillor as well as a TD, I would have found that out very quickly.

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The one thing that seems to be missed in what we were looking at is that the third tier would not only have the councillors on it but it would have extra membership. There has been talk about a council with 20 members but there would have been another 20 members selected beneath that. For example, in Galway it takes 1,500 votes to get elected to the county council but people would get...
