Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Dec 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: I will ask about child homelessness and protections for renters. The Taoiseach has consistently stated that the no-fault ban on evictions last year did not work.

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: We can look at the entire Bill with the view that the role being created is simply not strong enough. It is unthinkable that the mayor would not be able to appoint their own staff in their own office.

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: This is a discussion about whether a mayor who is directly elected by the people of Limerick will be able to appoint the staff in his or her immediate office. We are talking about five staff. There is no city anywhere in the world in which the directly elected mayor cannot appoint his or her own staff. The norm is that directly elected mayors are responsible for the appointment and...
